Likewise about the absence of Windows 9. I have heard of two possibilities of why this version was skipped.
1. One of Microsoft's significant customers considers the number 9 to be unlucky. 2. Some primitive programs query the operating system to see what version is running. There was some concern that Windows 9 could somehow be confused with Windows 95 or Windows 98. Yes, there are still computers out there which still run in Windows 95 and 98. |

True. Here's a link to the reason why there was never a "lucky" CTC13. From years ago on my site:

This guy was located in Pennsylvania about 125 miles from where I lived in NJ, and I had planned to go see the set (and a one-of-a-kind 15-in. color proto chassis he had), but before that happened he backed away. I felt at the time it may have been because I was bringing other collectors into the mix, and he didn't seem okay with that. Who knows...
Anyway, I think I can locate his name and address if you want to pursue this. Ed Reitan asked at the time whether on not I had actually seen a CTC13 marking the chassis, which I had not, although I still feel the story is true. Pete |

Please let us know Pete, being a 21" guy I was surprised to hear about the CTC that never came to be.

How then are Windows 95 and 98 not mixed up?

Windows 95 and Windows 98 are very similar so the parameters would probably be similar, if not identical.
