   Windows 10 looks great and all but I bet Windows 11 is gonna be a piece of crap.

      @mrmattimation I wasn't even aware that there was a even a Windows 9, is it like word war 5, it skips over the other two?

         @ninjaperson Internal technical coder-person reasons required them to skip 9 to avoid third-party programs from confusing it with Windows 95 and 98.

               @ninjaperson It's not Microsoft's fault really, if they went with the name "Windows 9" then a lot of programs would have assumed it was a really old OS and just straight-up not worked.

                  @mrmattimation I'm still gonna believe it's like world war 5, if anyone legitimately gets that reference

               @ninjaperson Not really. If said explanation is true, simply changing the name saves them millions in technical support.
