Is this why they didn't release Windows 9 and jumped to

Kek. This is actually very possible.

>>59279944
Apparently there is a LOT of software out there which just checks whether the wangblows version starts with a 9 (Win 95/98) instead of checking the complete version name, so calling it 9 would have probably fucked everything up even more

>>59280016
Don't be a sheep and believe what (((they))) tell you.

>>59280016
I dont buy this one, you could just have an internal name for that stuff, right?
Call it win9 or x9 or 8+1

>>59280016
thats what i read as well

Quality post

There's already 9..It's called 8.1

>>59280065
But that would mean 10 is 85 worse than 95.
and 95 is worse than running even linux.

pic related didn't stop apple from making iOS 9, and not a single one thought iOS 9 had anything to do with OS 9. windows users are probably not as intelligent as apple users, but they are not this stupid

>>59280076
Yeah the whole 7, 8, 8.1, 10 thing is retarded

>>59280094
Technologically, even 10 had a "10.1" already, at least one of the major updates a ~year back had to completely reboot your computer a few times and reinstall stuff which is exactly how 8.1 was deployed.
They just don't tell you the name.

>>59280111
And one this year.

>>59280111
Yeah and i prefer it like that, just get me the latest piss you will force on me - no need to call it rain

Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro

>>59279944
something about pajeet code that would have got windows 9 mixed up with windows 95 98

>>59280086
I'm at least 85% sure nobody is trying to run software written for Mac OS 9 on their fucking iPhone

>>59280086
Well, instead of naming their operating system Mac OS 10 they named it Mac OS X. So it's not like Apple doesn't make stupid numbering conventions either.

>>59280111
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they call it "Windows 10 anniversary edition" or something like that?

>>59280183
X is just the roman way of writing 10 retard, it's literally pronounced 10

>>59280153
This, it is a well known fact

>>59280183
X means 10.

>>59280086
There isn't 'alot' of software for macOS

>>59280201
>>59280214
Yes, but they didn't use roman numerals for their previous versions.

>>59280016
instead they made it 2 digits which fucks up even MORE programs

>>59280183

MUCH

school to post on 4chan.

Please go away and don't come back unless you manage at least a GED.

>>59280235
Does your school teach you to count mixing arabic numerals and roman numerals?

>>59280249
Does your school teach you?

>>59279944
What is windows 8.1?

>>59280254
Yes they do teach me to count properly. Maybe you should come to my school.

>>59280086
And it's not unheard of for apple to do things a bit different from others.

Lrn2read bucko.

Nobody thinks it's funny when you make up your own words.

we've know windows were nazis for a long time xD

>>59280198
Yes but it's like a "patch name" nowadays, quickly forgotten, 10 sticks on its own after the dust settles.
