Heh, that's awesome actually :) Got a source for that?
Windows 8 was a big failure. Windows 10 is looking much
better, I think
it will get a much higher adaption rate.
With their track record of "every other release" cycle where
one is
great (XP, 7, (perhaps) 10) and one is horrid (Vista, 8[.1]),
I wonder
if they skipped 9 on purpose :)
AFAIK they found that way too many apps do checks like:
if(windowsVersion.startsWith("Windows 9"){
// use crappy legacy-compatible code
}
else{
// 2k/XP+ etc.
}
