Why Microsoft Skipped Windows 9 #Shorts

[aria]

I did not realize it’s been over SIX YEARS since windows 10 came out holy shit

[iamNtTheGoat]

Microsoft in 9 years “windows 20 will be our last version”
Windows 21:

[Ryujin]

"Windows 10 is the last major version of windows"
"Windows 11 enters the chat"

[stev]

seeing that windows 7 isnt the 7th windows but its 8th is just painful

[JorisKeijser]

Theories: *makes sense*
Actual reality: *weird marketing BS*

[TheProstig]

"Windows Nein" is also a fun theory

[midnite]

“Windows 10 was the tenth version of windows!!!”
Dies in vista.

[yyy]

I love how we all collectively agree to ignore Vista's existence

[KHLRA]

Now look at how they push the hell out of 11 to us 🗿

On that topic, I found out that Microsoft never officially made the "last version of Windows" statement on Windows 10. Jerry Nixon did state this at the MS Ignite conference in 2015, but it wasn't an official Microsoft announcement, so maybe they WERE planning to keep going with Windows, and look where that has us now!

"Windows 10 was the 10th"
*coughs in Vista*

[RealKangarooFlu]

Well, Windows 10 being the "last" version aged like milk.

[samysnes]

I'm still not over the whole "windows 10 is the last version of Windows you'll ever need to buy!" followed by "oh nevermind, here's windows 11 hihi". That first statement surely drove a lot of sales for windows 10. Feels like a lawsuit could be appropriate here. They falsely advertised a product as being a "perpetual license".

I asked a representative where windows 9 was when they visited my university years ago. He said that windows 9 wasn't released to the public, they upgraded again to 10 and released that. I asked why they didn't just call THAT version windows 9, and call the other one 8.2. He moved to the next person for questions.

[FieryBiscuit]

Apple pulled a Microsoft by skipping 9

[XShadowCatzX]

“windows 10 was the 10th consumer edition of windows”

vista:

[michaels.]

I see that Linus completely wiped Windows Vista from his memory... Can't blame him to be honest.

[CharlesLawsonSermons]

Windows Frieza Edition: "This isn't even my final form"

[Jakobsen]

They should have named it “Windows” if it was the last since every other would almost never be talked about

[wlockuz]

"People don't confuse Windows 9 with Windows 95 or 98"

Microsoft thinks its consumers are a bunch of crayon eaters.
