Another version of Windows 9 name
As you said, because 9 is negative in German, microsoft called it 8.1.
After windows 7 (6.1), microsoft made small changes to their operating system. So, after 6.1, came 6.2 (w8), then 6.3 (should be 9) and finally we will have 6.4 or Windows 10. |

The German word for "No" is "Nein" pronounced the same way as the English "Nine". No chance of mistaking the version number for the word "No". -- Tim Slattery tim at risingdove dot com |
