Why Not Windows 9?

There are many saying about Number 9 is unlucky and it seems right as well as wrong sometimes. After Windows 8, Windows Finally announced Windows 10 on 2015. And after that everyone started hanging on the question “Uhh, what the hell happened to Windows 9?”

In Japan Number 9 is often called unlucky. Microsoft has very good presence in Japan. Windows have skipped Windows 9 to avoid any weirdness or ill will. Trend Micro — a Japanese company — did the same thing a few years ago when it skipped version 9 of its antivirus software. Not only microsoft but other companies have also did the same. But it's not sure to say Windows 9 wasn't announced due to unlucky '9'!

The real reason why Windows 9 was ditched? We reckon it’s simply because Microsoft wanted to literally put some distance between the flop that was (and still is) Windows 8 and its successor. It’s a psychological play and a reference to the fact that Windows 10 is a big step on, and far removed, from Windows 8.
