+====== Why windows 10 is even worse then 7, 8 or 9 ======
+Plenty to write here, just not formatted it as I want yet.
+Where did windows 9 go? Reasons I can find include calling it "9" would get confused with 95 or 98 and cause software install errors, so because m$ can't write a regex to distinguish, they had to miss a version number.
+Or
+Windows seems to only be successful every other release. They're skipping 9 to get back onto even numbered releases being popular. (From Reddit). I can believe this, windows 11 is terrible. Clearly windows 12 will be perfect and windows 13 will just be unlucky for all of us.
+Or
+"Windows 10 will be our most comprehensive platform ever," Terry Myerson, head of the operating systems group, explained. "It wouldn't be right to call it Windows 9, While the multi-tile based interface of Windows 8 worked well enough on phones and tablets, desktop users found it a struggle." (BBC news website).  So skipping 9, will make us all forget 8? I already have, I never had to even log in to it once.
-Plenty to write here, just not made it public yet.
 I'm forced to use windows at work for now, at home I'm 100% Linux based, so writing about windows without risking comparing it to something much better is not easy.
