I thought Windows 10 was the final version. Maybe I misunderstood. I was under the impression that it would just get updates going forward.

The actual version number for Windows 11 says it's Windows 10.

I can only imagine that the person from Sun Microsystems who was responsible for Java 1.2 being called "Java 2" and Java 1.5 being called "Java 2 Version 5.0" has since found work at Microsoft.

My pet theory is that Microsoft reconsidered this position when MacOS went to version 11. Having a lower version number must still carry some connotation of being "behind".

You thought that because Microsoft did say that. It just turns out they lied.
