Funny thing is I still don't know why they needed a new version of Windows for that, I mean 10 was already bloat they could have just shoved AI into it, as in the TPM 2.0 they could have just made a new 25H(whatever the fuck) version where you'd need to enable that on the motherboard.

I'm guessing to capture the consumers that just upgrade without thinking. Like they'll 100% put this shit in next years iphone and people won't even blink.

It's because Apple moved on from X. They skipped 9 just because they didn't want to be behind Apple.

Wasn't the reason for skipping 9 to not break programs assuming “Windows 9” meant 95 / 98?

It sounds like when Microsoft named their second console "360" because they wouldn't want to be behind Sony. But somehow I'm not buying that
