It's a cursed number.

...number 9 large...

>>62396542
Because people end up claiming GETs on just one 9.

But really, >>62396565 is true.

extra dip

>>62396542
bcos 10 sounds like a bigger improvement than 9, so if you release 9 people will wait for 10

>>62396542
Explain.
Microsoft skipped it because of Windows 95 and 98.
Apple did indeed release a Mac os9

If you're Asian, the word for 9 sounds similar to the one for suffering. Similarly 4 and death.

If you're Microsoft, "Windows 9" would have horrible SEO with 95 and 98 out there.

If you're Apple, I don't know, I jumped from OS8.6 to OSX Tiger.

Did you miss all the iPhone spam on /g/?
There's iphone 6, 7, 8, X. Find the missing number.

I heard that some of the Windows source code and some applications checked Windows versions by checking if there was a single 9 in the version number.

So they skipped 9 to prevent the whole thing crashing.

They jumped to X because it's the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.
