Windows 8.x was an anomaly. Well, OK, maybe a temporary return to anomalous
behavior? Looking at what we’ve had there hasn’t been a numbered version
except 7 and 8, at least that were actually true operating systems.
Windows 1.0 (not really an OS, just an application specific environment running
on DOS)
Windows 2.0 (not really an OS, just an environment running on DOS)
Windows 3.x (not really an OS, just an environment running on DOS)
Windows 95 (not really an OS, just an environment running on DOS)
Windows NT 3.5
Windows NT 4.0
Windows ME
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows 7
Windows 8.x
And if you look at the version numbers from within the OS, XP was really 5,
while 7, 8, 8.1, all report as version 6.x
Has anyone loaded the preview yet? How does it report? I’m guessing it
doesn’t report as 9, more likely 6.4.x. I’ve downloaded it but haven’t time to
load it yet.

Seriously, I suspect it was decided to make a virtual break from W8. W10 is not
just a follow-on for W8.

As Scott Hanselman tweeted….
It had to be Windows 10… because 7 8 9
