[Krejlooc]

Cause 10 > 9

 

[PFD]

10? So 8.1 was Windows 9?

 

[Maintenance]

Wait, what?

 

[TomShoe]

Cause seven eight nine

haaaaaaaaaaaar har har har

EDIT: hyuk hyuk hyuk

 

[Salsa]

[iNvid02]

FUCK IT, WINDOWS X LETS DO THIS

 

[Andrefpvs]

LOL fucking brilliant!

 

[Defect]

Wut.

 

[Banana Aeon]

So, Microsoft thinks they not only can rollback on numbers, but skip them too?

World's greatest monsters.

 

[quesalupa]

What the hell??
No seriously, who the hell is in charge of numbering things at Microsoft. I just...I don't even..what?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Wait what? did 7 8 9 or something

 

[StuBurns]

Huh? Is the Verge moving to an Onion-style satirical outlet?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Ok skipping 8 and 9, will wait on 10 haha. Good thing I didn't jump.

 

[shamanick]

Can't wait for next year's Windows One

 

[SargerusBR]

GAME CHANGER

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Why don't they just call it Windows One just cause.

 

[koutoru]

8.1 was 9. Now we have 10.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

wth?

 

[Syf]

I.. what?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Minecraft 3 will be next.

 

[Leyasu]

A mélange of 7 and 8.1, and I'll be updating all my PCs day one!!

OK so I read the link and it is what I want.. Will be upgrading

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

so windows 9 was free to windows 8 users? and now we have windows 10 that I have to buy?

 

[Pooya]

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS.

 

[Drencrom]

Why did they skip Win 9? That's supposed to be the good OS according to the "every other windows OS is shit" rule

 

[SargerusBR]

Windows 9 confirmed as Service Pack then?

 

[valkillmore]

Update: And they just now announced Windows 11. Can't wait to upgrade to Windows 17 this fall.



...

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Xbox One after Xbox 360. Windows 10 after Windows 8. Microsoft are really hitting it out of the park with these names...

 

[OnPoint]

Oh man, the 7 8 9 jokes will be glorious. People are gonna be so mad haha

 

[jesu]

lol, maybe they just use a RNG to name their products now?

 

[ODDI]

So those who skipped 8 for 9 like skipping vista for 7 are gonna to wait for 11?

 

[luxarific]

I feel like the number skip is some weird sort of magician-like misdirection: don't look at this, we're SKIPPING A NUMBER!!11!

 

[PFD]

so windows 9 was free to windows 8 users? and now we have windows 10 that I have to buy?

That would be the greatest troll to date from Microsoft

 

[nubbe]

winbone?

 

[vinnygambini]

good

Thank god. I hate the Windows 8 layout, it's complicated more than anything.

 

[NotLiquid]

From Xbox 360 to Xbox One and Windows 8 to Windows 10

Microsoft cannot count worth shit

 

[RCSI]

Huh? Is the Verge moving to an Onion-style satirical outlet?

That was my first thought.

 

[xxracerxx]

MS needs to have a talk between departments....good lord.

 

[Firebrand]

Wait what? did 7 8 9 or something

Why is the audio disabled by default in the new Windows?
Because Windows 8 bit Nate

Hurrhurr

 

[2+2=5]

Why?
Whatever the number or name i'll wait for it before changing computer.

 

[TheSeks]

FUCK IT, WINDOWS X LETS DO THIS

Can't wait for Windows 10.5 Snow Leopard.

AW YEAH. MAYBE WE'LL GET AQUA TO REPLACE METRO!

 

[FtsH]

I thought only odd number versions are good Windows? Why do they skip the good one?

 

[-Horizon-]

WTF? Xbox One, Windows X?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I think it's because it works on 10 different types of devices or something. That's what others were pointing out in the photo at least.

 

[Anth0ny]

what the fuck

 

[ReBurn]

Since every other OS release is successful they're just going to skip over the potential success of Windows 9 and jump straight to the failure of Windows 10. Saves time I guess.

 

[orava]

The OS itself is looking pretty great so far. There is virtual desktops and a "expose" like task preview too. Maybe i can ditch dexpot after all.

 

[RukusProvider]

WindX would be ideal.

 

[Fedele]

I can almost hear the Marketing guys going like "it will sound better than 9, let's just skip it!"

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I thought only odd number versions are good Windows? Why do they skip the good one?

Ok I change my mind, waiting for 10.1.
