Interesting chart, but I daresay it's missing a few entries:

In the Microsoft column, "4" belongs between "3" and "95" (that's NT4; NT5 got renamed "2000"), and "ME" belongs between "98" and "2000".

In the Apple column, "9" belongs between "8" and "X".

Curious omissions. I can sort of understand forgetting "NT4", since that was mainly a server OS and didn't get much attention in the mainstream. And I grant that Windows "ME" is best forgotten. But MacOS 9 was the pinnacle of the original Mac series; my late-90's iMacs ran it for many years.

Ah, well, it's an internet meme, not a Wikipedia page :-) Thanks for posting it!

As you finished with, it is just a random funny picture I found on the interwebs.

But ME was just a home version of 2000, I didn't think it was really a separate version number of OS?

And Apple's numbers are just the phones, not the OS's. But if we included MacOS 9, technically it would go in front of the 3/3G, since it came out eight years earlier!
