Microsoft Skips Windows 9, Heads Straight to Windows 10

Is it something subtle, like the fact that when pronounced, it sounds like "No" in German (nein)? This is unfair and discriminatory to the number 9, and it only postpones the day when Microsoft will have to announce Windows 11, a much less attractive number than 9.
