Technofile: Microsoft Windows loses count by design<\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/header>\n

Windows 10 comes after Windows 8. Don’t expect a “9” in the lineup. (Microsoft)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Microsoft wants you to forget Windows 8 ever existed. In fact, it can’t wait to get the next version of Windows, a vast improvement over Windows 8, onto your computer.
\nExpect the next version sometime next summer.<\/p>\n

Yea!<\/p>\n

Except for a little thing having to do with counting. Microsoft is so embarrassed about Windows 8 that it wants to strike the number 8 from its lexicon. No more “8” anything.<\/p>\n

No more “9” anything either.<\/p>\n

That’s right. The next version will be Windows 10. Goodbye, 8. Stay away, 9.
\nI realize you might think I’m kidding. I’m not. Microsoft has a lot of talented people. Unfortunately, they’re not the ones in charge.<\/p>\n

This is silly, of course. Foolish, in an emperor’s-new-clothes way. Dumb. I know how to count and you do. Windows 8 will always be remembered as the Flintstones operating system.<\/p>\n

Windows 8 has two terrible features: It’s lousy when used with a tablet and mind-numbing when used with a PC.<\/p>\n

Add 2 to 8 and you get 10.<\/p>\n

Sorry, Microsoft. There is no escape.<\/p>\n

I have a much better idea. I remember stealing a pack of gum when I was a kid. My dad heard about it and told me I had only one thing to do: Go back to the store and give the guy behind the counter his money. And, of course, tell him why I was doing that. And apologize.<\/p>\n

So I did.<\/p>\n

Back to Microsoft. The next version should be called Windows Sorry.<\/p>\n

Tell it like it is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
