There are two candidates for a reasonable explanation. 1. Windows 8 has acquired such a reputation that no enterprise willconsider using it or any variation. Win 9 is considered an upgrade to 8 so is also Taboo. Windows 10 creates a perceived distance. 2. Loads of applications developed in the NT/2000/XP era check to seewhether they're running on old 'Personal' windows (95 or 98) or on the'New Technology' versions. They do this by looking for a '9'. Maybe MS can solve the problem in their time-tested fashion, by renaming everything. Dan Covill
