There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't, meaning it's actually:
Windows Two
Windows Two
Seems a little stupid..:straight:
You should have watched Microsoft's live show on YouTube. They named it Windows 10 to 'sync' their names on their products/services (XBox One, OneNote, etc) but they couldn't name it as 'Windows One' because that's the first version of Windows.
This is the most reasonable explanation yet. I just wish MS would explain why. The tech articles and haters are already stating how MS is so confused on what they're doing that they can't even get their versioning straight.Version number logic:
Windows 7 = NT6.1 = 6+1 = 7
Windows 8 = NT 6.2 = 6+2 = 8
Windows 8.1 = NT 6.3 = 6+3 = 9
Windows 10 = NT 6.4? = 6+4 = 10
Did you get electrocuted when you read "Windows 10"? No.
Is the name the main reason you love/hate Windows? No.
Then wth?
Because they can, that's why they name it Windows 10
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.
