Windows 9 has an official name: Windows 10?

[deathjester]

11 is one louder than 10,  just like 10 is one better than 9. Microsoft's logic here is flawless imo.

It's sad that Microsoft has succumbed to the 'all software is now called "apps" ' idiocy.

It's not like it's less functional, save a couple letters and it's the same as applications, what's the problem

10 is "2" in binary (for those that know lest that) . . .

Wished for Windows 9. I really laughed when Linus and Luke were joking about (german accent) WINDOWS NEIN ! 

 

-Maybe we should add... NEIN ! 

-Or maybe if... NEIN !! 

[Jeroendedoem]

wut. This is like nVidia skipping the 800 series.

But that was with a little bit of reason. This is completly bullshit

My problem isn't with the abbreviation. My problem is with the word 'applications'.

It's a vague term that's now being used for scripts, web services, clients, servers, basically every kind of software, obscuring the distinctions from the user.

I think Valve should name Half Life 3, Half Life 4 and put it on Steam OS 2.0 in retaliation. 

[AlexGoesHigh]

and microsoft strikes again whit non sense naming skims, though at least is better that calling it one or just windows also most of this stuff seems to be the same that got leaked a couple of weeks back, which is good and ctrl+v support is CMD is a freaking god send

[Valentyn]

It actually looks nice! Add in those new productivity features, and I'll use it more.

I like how it adapt to what device you're on. Seems great microsoft! I'll join the insider microsoft program when it launches twomorow. 

 

 

Windows 10 sounds and looks a lot better than Windows 9

Looks nice. A unified app store is a must!

[IdeaStormer]

Looks nice. A unified app store is a must!

 

If it allows the opensource apps then good otherwise epic failure

[Tocsin_786]

its because 8.1 is technically 9. i see where they went.

[Sakkura]

New trend: skipping 1 part of a normally logical naming scheme.

 

As if the naming scheme was logical in the first place. 3.1 - 95 - 98 - 7 - 8 without even mentioning the non-numeric versions.

[AndThenThereWas1]

Windows 1 was unoriginal so they added a 0 to the end?

[Sakkura]

10 is "2" in binary (for those that know lest that) . . .

 

And 10 is 3 in base-3, 4 in base-4, 5 in base-5 etc. so you can define it to be any integer above 1.

It's a must for people who would end up installing a bunch of currently_popular_song.mp3.exe viruses without it.

[beebskadoo]

I would rather Microsoft have a firm grasp on the app store. If that means less opportunity for open source than so be it. Imho

[WereCat]

Meanwhile at MS: Upgrade from W8 to W9 will be free.

So where we are going to get money?

... Red alert! Relase W10!

Those Microsoft copycats

 

Windows 10 ... Windows X ... Mac OS X

[Techhog]

 

Well.... Okay then. Any news about the preview or if it'll be subscription only?

[dlf]

Those Microsoft copycats

Windows 10 ... Windows X ... Mac OS X

'cept MegaMan x isn't MegMan 10, despite x=10 in roman numerals. Final Fantasy x, is FF10 . . . . .
