They went from windows 8 to 10 because seven ate nine.

That's so terrible it's amazing.

Might try the technical preview maybe virtually. The name I'm not sure about I understand the reason but I can imagine some people getting confused wondering where 9 is. Windows one has people have suggested would have fitted the idea of one operating system they have, and it would have went with the xbox one, but then people complained the xbox one made it sound like an old xbox rather than a new one

Christ knows... I'm surprised they didn't called it Windows One.

I was actually thinking they'd call it that lol, it'd make sense

The actually number at the end doesn't really make much difference as Windows 8 = Not 8th version of Windows. Ten is a good solid number and I think with all the changes in Microsoft's management they want to go out with a bang in their next version of Windows that's where they got the "10" from. Winamp also did something similar, they skipped a version and didn't have a version 4 but went straight to a version 5.

Some also say that they didn't call it Windows 9 due to the fact that legacy software that checks the OS version would determine that Windows 9 is an old version of Windows relating back to older versions of Windows. (Windows 98 and some even say Windows ME for some reason) - I don't have the knowledge behind this to see if it's a valid approach.

Tried it out on virtualbox and not bad. Still don't get why you can't swap tiles up and down wise (has to be right or left)
