***********************
Two reasons why there wasn’t a win9 ,, first poorly written software might check the win version and only care about WIN9_ where _ is a wildcard ,, 95 98 98se etc. etc.

Second is psychological ,, had to skip a number to make a clean break and not suggest that it’s just the “next” number... ,, we skipped a number so it’s WAY better!!! Yippee.
