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.
