Hahahaha! I hadn't consider the Teutonic syntax implications of using 9. I suspect it is more for branding and marketing 1: To make a clean break from W8. By choosing "10" it shows a big leap forward from the current offering. 2: 10 is a nice 'countdown' type number. Solid. 3: it is also a nice score - Watch for headlines like "Windows 10 out of 10!" blah blah. 4: Surprise factor. Everyone was expecting Windows 9 - so this will shake it up a bit and get your attention. 5: There is the nerd binary factor of using 1 and 0 in the OS's name (although maybe it is just me) I am sure there are more, but it is early here in Oz and I am in need of a Coffee. What is worse we only have the 'low grade' Nescafe pods left until our new order arrives. - Grim days indeed.
