Is this your review? If so, very well done!

I’m convinced MS skipped Windows 9 in order to be “equal” to OSX. So that the masses won’t think the Mac more advanced because of its higher release number

Not very profession, but thank God if it helps.

Plausible. And where would be without competition?

The explanation I saw that made the most sense, was that many programs looked for the windows version as 9*, for windows 95/98 and such. This caused problems. Lazy programmers IMO.
