I've heard a few reasons on why they're skipping 9, and the most plausible one is that they found that a lot of programs were written back in the day with "If Windows Version == 9x" to capture windows 95 and 98, it was capturing windows 9 as well. By skipping the version they avoid bad programming from older programs.
It's also just as likely that Windows 9 in German would be Windows No. On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 3:40 PM, DSinc <[email protected]> wrote: > Tim, > Thanks for the info, but I do zero social media. sorry.
