Some things may be above the nerdiness on this forum but I am sure there is a few of you that will find this entertaining. For the common person, the next windows should be Windows 9 but will be Windows 10 because it will break the shit out of old Windows 95 and 95 and ME code. > **[if (osName.startswith("windows 9")) • r/programming](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2i14ny/if_osnamestartswithwindows_9/)** > > 2547 points and 795 comments so far on reddit This comment and why the next Windows will miss Windows 9 and become Windows 10 is hilarious. > **[if (osName.startswith("windows 9")) • r/programming](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2i14ny/if_osnamestartswithwindows_9/ckxw75z)** > > 2550 points and 795 comments so far on reddit ---

Yeah, some companies are big enough where if they have a problem with software, Microsoft will go around the clock to fix it. ---

> [@Tunerfreak](#): > > right but what I am saying is other companies shitty code shouldn’t be Microsoft’s problem/concern, its the companies problem to fix That really isn’t how the world works lol A large number of the security features Microsoft implements are to protect the OS/users from other companies shitty code(Adobe products, Java, etc) You also have to understand that if Windows version whatever doesn’t support legacy apps large corps will be slow to adopt. ---

Also a lot of places like Banks for instance require so much testing that they don’t upgrade a program until they’ve needled through every scenario and feature. So some places may JUST be upgrading to Office 2007 or Windows 7. ---
