[OFFICIAL] Windows 10 Insider Program

Frankly, in a perfect world, we'd be looking at Windows NT 6.4...

 

Yeah, the fact that the current marketing numbering of the OS doesn't follow the actual kernel numbering kinda bugs me.

It's no different than all the Linux distros and maybe even OSX itself?     None of those follow the kernel version for anything, besides a OS is more than just it's kernel.   Lots of things that make up Windows have different versions to them.

I really hope Windows 9 is the official name. I don't want Microsoft going back to yearly product names (9x releases) or "cute" names (XP, Vista).

Frankly if improves on win 7 & 8 then the name is irrelevant . :rofl:

It was kind of the norm for Microsoft back in the day. Windows 3, Windows 3.1, MS-DOS 6, MS-DOS 6.22, etc.

 

They may be boring but at the end of the day, it's the simplest, most honest way to name your product.

Yeah but you can't keep trying to sell a "major" new version of your OS and have it be labeled as 6.2 or 6.3 compared to 7 and 8.   It's the business side of things coming into play.  Back when those version of Windows and MS-DOS were being sold it was a different market, it was smaller and it was mostly techies who liked to know the version numbers and model numbers of things they were buying/using.   Now things have changed, heck things changed with Windows 95.
