    Windows 8 was the year after Windows 7 and by that logic windows 7 was a failure.

      Windows 8.1 was the next major release of Windows after Windows 8. And thank you for confirming my point.

      I'm not entirely sure what your point was tbh. I'm sure there will be another major release of Windows on the horizon. What it'll be called, I'm not sure. I think Windows 9 is sort of the generic term for it right now :)

        Windows 8 is actually Windows 6.2. The way people are putting up a stink by talking reality is proving that most programmers that follow the code program are full of shit, high on themselves, and trolls for insulting a person for pointing out that not even Microsoft is talking Windows 9.

        "windows 9" is generally understood by everyone except, perhaps, you, to refer to the next major release of Windows. It's internal version will presumably be 6.3 It may be called Windows 9 or it may be called Fred - whatever, i'ts easier to say "Windows 9" than "The next major release of Windows regardless as to what it's called"

            And windows 7 is Windows 6.1 and Windows 8 is Windows 6.2. Not a marketing name.

            You're the only one who gives a crap what the marketing name is. No matter what MS Marketing calls the next major version of Windows, we all refer to it as "Windows 9", just as if it was a project name.

              So what? In either case in order to sue them you have to be able to demonstrate irreperable harm to your company by the release of the next version of Windows. Frankly, if that is the case, you actually screwed yourself because you didn't take this well-known possibility into account in your own business model.

                    Oh I didn't say any version of Windows was a failure. YOU DID. All I said was Microsoft has in the past abandonded a ton of copies of Windows on store shelves to release the next version, regardless of the reason they did it. Thank you for demonstrating my point.

                        No, abusive would telling you that you're a mindless tick of a human with ragingly inappropriate mastabatory fantasies regarding an operating system that is widely regarded in pretty much every IT circle as being a steaming pile of shit. But that's not what I said.

                              So Microsoft is lying as well? Let me guess; when let out of the basement and not taking your medication, you walk around with tin foil hat. You are a loon. (In response to other assertions; Windows Vista & Server 2008 had the internal version number of 6.0. What is called Windows 8.1 has the internal version number of 6.3. It doesn't really matter. Microsoft could call the next major version, Windows Elephant and yet people will still refer to it as Windows 9. In the meantime, go back on your medication.)

                                          Fer f*ck's sake, man-up and take your verbal drubbing. You'll be a much better person for it, and you won't be annoying the allegedly abusive grownups. This message brought to you by ButtHurtenol. Take two capsules in the morning and SHUT THE F*CK UP!
