Microsoft is known to be jumpy with the version numbers, while mixing in dates or floating numbers: 3 to 3.1 to NT 3.1 to NT 3.5 to NT 3.51 NT 4.0 to 95 to 98 to 2000 to 2003 to 7, 8 and then later ignoring 9, and all of this nonsense while sometimes using words instead numbers in between all the versions. Now it jumps from 11 to 365. There is no homogeneity.
I am curious to what the future naming will be, as no one can predict it with certainty unlike on most other systems. That’s probably the only exciting part about the operating system to me.
