I don’t know why people claim they skipped 9. Clearly they version in octal.
P.S. It’s not a mistake, it’s a put down.

They skipped 9 because of Windows 95 and 98 and a lot of code that simply used Win 9- for commands and stuff.
That’s what “they” say anyways

There's a known issue with the way Windows detects different versions of the operating that forced Microsoft to call the successor to Windows 8.x Windows 10. It's something to do with the way third-party programs detect various versions of Windows, according to most reliable sources.

The existence of Windows "8" shows they version in nonal.
