CNN article about Windows 8[^] Guess it's once again time to start with the Valium.

Just ignore it... According to the odd-even rule, Windows 8 will be a bloated, unstable piece of garbage... Windows 9 might be good.

Star Trek Odd/Even Rule was broken with Nemesis.

Oh - you mean the rule that states that all odd and even releases will be bloated, unstable pieces of garbage?

[Dalek Dave]

I thought it meant Even good releases are Odd.

or does it mean odd releases are even good?

Just released - Weven. Something doesn't fit here. When will Wodd be released?

[Ian Shlasko]

Yeah, Nemesis was supposed to be good, and it was mediocre... The reboot was supposed to be horrible, but it was actually really good. So I think Nemesis reversed the polarity by rerouting phaser control through the main deflector, or sending a tachyon pulse through-- LeVar Burton is so much better at this...

No, Wen comes after Wine, which is a good way to lose Weight.

Wait, using MS's consistent naming scheme, shouldn't the next version be named one of the following? Windows 8.5 Windows 2013 Windows TNG 3.11 Windows YOU Windows NT 7.0 Windows Vista 3 In other words, ANYTHING but "Windows 8."

Did I miss something, I thought Vista was version 6 and the one after was 6.1 (often referred to as 7). I haven't figured out their(MS) rounding rules. AFAIK 0.4 rounds down, and 0.5 rounds up. /me being slightly confused.

[Chris Maunder]

Wow - what a pointless article regurgitating mindless nothings, ending on a highlight of "let's make fun of Vista". In other words, they don't actually know anything, but just wanted a headline that had Windows 8 in it.

You got it - of course there's going to be a Windows 8 (under same name). What we have here is an example of the "We were first" syndrome.
