Still doesn't beat the jump from 3.11 to 95.
Now that they've adopted Chrome's rapid release schedule, we'll get to see what happens after they've hit 94 pretty soon.

Apparently this is why they can't call it Windows 9:

Yes.

critics also theorized—based on a post by a Reddit user claiming to work for Microsoft—that the decision to skip 9 was to prevent issues with older applications that may had been coded to detect Windows 95 and 98 by checking for the string "Windows 9". This theory was supported by the discovery of code on public repositories exhibiting this behavior.

Just in case someone didn't get it.

God damn lazy coders.  Can't take the time to throw in one more or statement.

If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

It could run NHL 2000 while Windows 98 could not. Amazing.

The refresh cycle for my computer is almost to the motherboard/CPU/OS so I'll be interested in how Windows 10 works.
