M$ can't count? - Linkage What happened to 9?

so long as I can switch to the classic (win xp) start menu somehow, I'll be happy. Guess they wanted the next version to be as far away from Windows 8 associations as possible, hence the skipping of 9 I'm more interested in this version as it looks to offer a nicer compromise.

So you could say that Windows 7 ate nine?

(I stole this joke and I'm not sorry)

If you use the 'every second version of windows is good and every other bad'....

Win 3.1 - Good
Win 95 - Meh
Win 98 - Good
Win 2k - Bad
Win XP - Good
Win Vista - Grrrrrrr
Win 7 - Good
Win - Stupid
Win - 9 - MIA, probably Good.
Win 10 - Probably Bad.

We can assume that Windows 9 would have been good, probably better than 7, but 10 will likely be terrible

Well, I downloaded and installed it...
Can't stand the window decorations, why use more space to show less detail? horrible. Also those stupid 'ribbon' menus!!! why would anyone want their menus to go sideways? why?

ribbon menus can go and suck a big one. Never really saw any UI benefits with them.

Ribbons are for girls upto the age of 9 years old. They have no other purpose in life. Yet M$ seems obsessed with the damned things.
