'''Windows 9''' was expected to be a part of [[Microsoft]]'s  line of [[Windows (operating system)|Windows]] [[operating system]].  However, such an edition was never released.

==Time Line==
 
−
In October of 2012, [[Windows 8]] was released, with great promotional efforts.  However, the operating system did not sell as well as expected, partially due to the removal of the start button, which every Windows user had grown accustomed to.  To help compensate for this failure, Microsoft released Windows 8.1 in October of 2013, one year later.  This gave back the Start button, but the new "Start menu" was not improved or replaced.  A few other updates were bundled with this release as well.  Almost two years later, in July 2015, [[Windows 10]] was released.  Immediately, the public began asking, "What happened to Windows 9?"

−
==The reasoning==
 
−
It seems logical enough that Windows 9 should come after 8 and before 10.  However, there are some reasons why this might not have happened. Here are some of them:
 
−
===Culture sensitivity===
 
−
In [[Japan]], the number 9 is considered unlucky.  Since Japan does offer a sizable market for the Windows system, this number might have been excluded, much as some companies in the United States exclude the number 13.<ref name="extremetech.com">http://www.extremetech.com/computing/191279-why-is-it-called-windows-10-not-windows-9</ref>
 
−
===Compatibility===
 
−
Ideally, programmers would not make vague any assumptions.  However, it is possible that some might make a program to check for "Windows 9" to make sure that it is running on either Windows 95 or [[Windows 98]].  This is a reason given by someone claiming to be a Microsoft developer on the social media website [[Reddit]].<ref name="extremetech.com">http://www.extremetech.com/computing/191279-why-is-it-called-windows-10-not-windows-9</ref>

===Meaning of a beginning==
