Have you been following Windows 10/11 versions? macOS’ naming scheme is a breeze in comparison.
- pedalpete 3y agoHow do you figure? Windows had 7, 8, skipped 9, 10, 11, and now 12 is coming. Windows thought they'd never do a major update again, and tried to hold on to the 10 label, but then realized that wouldn't work. So 11 is a bit of a branding stumble, but we know, it came after 10.
- sph 3y agoYou are conveniently ignoring any Windows release before 7.
- lifthrasiir 3y agoBut Windows never used a separate name for minor versions, so there are only 6 exceptions (and hopefully no more). And a half of them are year numbers.
- rpgbr 3y agoYou’re ignoring all yearly updates to Windows 10 and 11, most of them with news features enough that would be a major version if they were on macOS. I mean[1]: >As announced in July, the Windows 11 2023 Update (version 23H2) will be released in the fourth quarter of 2023. This new update will have the same servicing branch and code base as Windows 11, version 22H2 and will be cumulative with all the newly announced features. For devices on version 22H2, the 2023 Update will be delivered via a small enablement package (eKB)7. This continues the annual feature update cadence, with new feature updates released in the second half of the calendar year. This new version resets the 24 months of support for Home and Pro editions and 36 months of support for Enterprise and Education editions.
