I follow Windows development fairly closely and even do some Windows Phone (phone) development on the side, but this version number thing has me scratching my head. The explanation in the article doesn't help much either. If I recall correctly, the number 9 is considered lucky in a wide variety of places, which seems like it would help sales on a subconscious level. Introspectively, it worries me that I have read three articles about Windows 10 this afternoon and instead of recalling any new features, all I can think about is the version number...

Well, "nine" sounds like "no" in German...

  Don't worry, German also has a word for the number.

    Neun(9) and Nein(no) still sound extremely similar however.

      German native speaker here. They don't really sound that similar.

        Oh well thanks for clearing that up then, I took a german class in high school but apparently not a very good one as i remembering them being extremely similar. Maybe my english ears lol
