let’s face it, the 10 was chosen for marketing, even if there’s a technical reason it can’t be “windows 9”
it could’ve just been windows nine. or any other word that isn’t a number
Edit: i don’t think this theory is even true. the only source is some guy on reddit whose comments are now deleted. besides, windows 95 is not internally called windows 95, it’s windows 4.00.950
