Wait ... WTF.

Haha this live blog actually works really well.

Yeah it does!

Windows 10 makes sense though

8.1 could be counted as 9 (maybe) so the next number up would be ten.

We don't want that duality, we want users on PCs with mice and keyboards to have their familiar UI.

That will come in Classic Shell.

Glad they finally fixed their numeration: NT release 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8. Had sleepless nights for years over it.
