I guess they have OS X envy? Or just putting even more distance between this version and Windows 8? An odd choice.

  Apple did it first. Apple also skipped version 9 to go right to "X".

    No they didn't.

      Oh I remember the release, but it was a complete bluff/joke. System 9 was really just an incremental update of System 8, but it was given a new number because (a) they were still years away from finishing OS X, which we had been promised for half a decade, and (b) you can charge money if you give the OS a new number.
