After Microsoft announced the new Windows version, Windows 10, it surprised many readers because previous Windows versions have always been sequenced. Could it be that this new Windows version represents a much stronger breakthrough compared to Windows 8, prompting Microsoft to skip Windows 9?
Windows 8.1 is the most recent version developed by Microsoft, so most users are eagerly awaiting Windows 9. However, it seems that Microsoft believes that this new version brings a significant breakthrough compared to the old Windows 8/8.1, hence it's named Windows 10 instead of Windows 9.
Additionally, there's a viewpoint suggesting that Microsoft aimed for parity with Apple's Mac OS X by naming this Windows version Windows 10. Despite various other names considered like Windows One, Windows Threshold, or Windows TH, Windows 10 remained Microsoft's ultimate choice.
On the Redditor forum, a member explained that naming the new Windows version Windows 9 might lead to confusion with Windows 95 or Windows 98. However, this speculation lacks evidence, and Microsoft's true reasons may remain undisclosed.
The newly released Windows version carries many mysteries, starting with its name, Windows 10. It's the first Windows version integrated across all three platforms: Smartphone, Tablet, and PC. However, users only got to experience and enjoy Windows 10 on PCs during the recent launch event.
