41. Because we’ve already go through
windows 8 for twice and 8.1 is
considered as Win version 9
42. An ExtremeTech reader called Benny sent us an
email to say that the number 9 is considered unlucky
in Japan. Microsoft has a big enough presence in Japan
that it may have skipped Windows 9 to avoid
any weirdness or ill will. Benny says that Trend Micro
— A Japanese company — did the same thing a few
years ago when it skipped version 9 of its antivirus
software.
