Doom Metal Alchemist Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 You know how Windows 10 is really just Windows 9, but they skipped 9, because deep in the Windows code calling it Windows 9 would make it think it was from the 90s (Win 95, 98), so they just skipped over 9 to avoid that problem? Why didn't they just spell it Windows IX or Windows Nine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hell, I just had ANOTHER realization on this topic. Why didn't they just use a random word like they did with Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a name like they did with Vista, nobody seemed to like Vista - so that was a non-starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your reason for them not using a word like Vista is a very good point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dumber that that Meme about the Chevy Nova not selling in Mexico because it sounded like "No Va" (No Go), so "Bite the Wax Tadpole"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
