Really? Is there anyone who would read:

Windows 10 2003

and think that it means a release of Windows Server made in the year "2003"?

Oh, wait.... Of course they will.

After all, that's why there was no "Windows 9", because it would get confused with "Windows 95" and "Windows 98". I remember now.

Okay, then, "Windows 10 2004" it is. Anyway, here's what it's got...

Windows 10 Update "2004"... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

> As a reminder, the next version of Windows 10 is known as "20H1". Or "2004". Or "that thing Santa left on the lounge carpet". We made that last one up, but you get the idea.

Man, The Register can be brutal. :-)

I'm beginning to appreciate Apple's use of simple names for OS releases. ;-)

Seriously though, Linux is no better, in fact we're worse. Every major distro has their own numbering scheme. Generally they follow the "major.minor" convention. But then you can add in all kinds of craziness with specific or special kernel versions swapped in underneath. Then for more fun you can swap window managers on top - ending up with 3 different numbers/versions before you've even touched applications...

More vaporware and now even language versions of it.

Switch to Win-10?
Not at gunpoint.

Switch to Win-10 from stable and wonderful 2009 Win-7 Pro 64x?
Not at gunpoint.
