Who gets to 11 first

[lamedude]

Apple has a 14 year head start but when MS commits to something they're pretty quick to do an about face.

OSX is going to stay on 10 for a while I think.

Microsoft is going to keep releasing lacklustre operating systems with bigger and bigger numbers.

i do know that microsoft will be releasing lots of windows 10 versions so probably no need for a windows 11.

Why does it matter who calls what first (if at all)?

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Ubuntu did it.

MacOS, then Spinal Tap OS...

I need an OS that goes to 11 to go with my amp.

Haha......but this one goes to eleven.

If you already have to worry! Worry about what version 13 will do on Fridays.

It seems that Microsoft is going to stick with Windows 10 for a while, maybe they will release the next Windows with a codename and a number, just like Apple.

Mac OS has been on version 10 almost as long as versions 1-9. It's a brand name, not just a version number.

Microsoft skipped 9 to copy them.

Microsoft skipped 9 because of people writing terrible code that basically did a check of "if 9 is in version number, then it's Windows 95-98/SE" - iirc, it was mostly terrible Java code at that.

f (name.startsWith("windows")) {
            name = "windows";
            if (name.startsWith("windows 9")) {
                if (version.startsWith("4.0")) {
                    version = "95";
                } else if (version.startsWith("4.9")) {
                    version = "me";
                } else {
                    assert version.startsWith("4.1");
                    version = "98";
                }
            }

                }
            }

If that were the case, they'd call it 9 and use 10 internally like all the other versions. I think 10 is a better fresh start.

No? Look, this isn't me making this one up. Google it. Rev the entire version and skip confusion. It sounds logical enough.
