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. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.
