My oh my! Should we expect then, that the free upgrading will go on "forever and one day" after buying a copy of "Window$", since, before there were clearly designated "version numbers" or specific names added to the basis consisting of the word "Window$"?:infinity:

More likely if they do drop version numbers, the sheer amount of people who still call it Windows 9, by the next release they'll backtrack and return version numbers again Look how impossible it was to get people to drop "Metro" and start using "Modern" It would be a stupid move on MS part if they do this, it will just cause ultimate confusion for everyone

I agree. It would be like what they did with the Xbox one name. Since the original Xbox was dubbed the Xbox1 by the modding community and users/fans. And MS came out with the Xbox One.

I wasn't even aware that they renamed it.
