Image shows a tweet with the header “and people STILL try to convince me Linux and Windows are better when the DATA clearly shows otherwise. SMH” with an image attached showing the following:
“Operating systems by current version” Mac OS: 14 Windows: 11 Linux: 6
this is what happened to windows 9, too.
No, the problem with Windows 9 is that a lot of things compared the version with
9*as a catch all for windows 95 and 98, so they were worried with backwards compatibility.There wasn’t a Windows 9 because a lot of (poorly) written software will do a system check for Windows version and if the first number is “9”, it won’t work and complain that you need to be using a Windows OS newer than Windows 9x (95/98).
It was just for backwards compatibility more than anything.
What’s wrong with 9 though ? Didn’t iPhone also skip 9 ?
After the X/XS/XR phones they went to the 11. If the XS was 10 then the X would be 9. It is a bit weird for them to do 8 and 9 at the same time, though.
but the X is a Roman numeral hence why Apple demands that OSX be pronounced as “OS ten”
(I have not heard anyone who is not an Apple employee call it that but it’s the official stance, you can look it up)
Dunno. But that’s a hardware model, ;)
