So why is MS skipping 9? And going to 10?

They want to 'start fresh', a bit like jumping from 1.4 to 2.0 to signify a big leap/change.

It also doesn't hurt that it is 2 higher than Windows 8, since some people see Windows 8 very negatively and might think Windows 9 is 'more of the same' but Windows 10 is more improved.

Seems a little stupid..:straight:

Can you elaborate? Whats wrong with the 10?

I love the Xbox One name, and las console was named Xbox 360.

Or better: Windows 95 -> Windows 98 (WTF! where is the 97??) -> Windows ME (what??)
Windows 2000 -> Windows XP (WTF! where is the 2001?) -> Windows Vista -> Windows 7

A name is just that, a name.

I think that it is perfect. My initial reaction was skeptical, however Windows One has been done... That part of the keynote was solid.

Ultimately, the "Windows 10" moniker will become less and less relevant as the "One Windows" ecosystem becomes what we interact with. Our devices will blend into one continuous experience that is always live and in sync. Mobile first, Cloud first.

Agreed. Very stupid that they would skip 9?

Anyways, I think BlackBerry should sue MS for intellectual theft. ;).

Hello,
the reason is clear to me:
xp: good
vista: worse
win7: very good
win8/8.1: so bad for me, i will never install
win 9: should be good, but it can?t exist
win 10: bad again?

I was using all from xp to 8.1, so i found out the hard way: one good, one bad, one good ...
regards -:)
