Yeah, I'm looking forward to Windows 10. There were rumours the other day that Windows 9 will be a free update to Windows 8 users (a Service Pack with a bigger number to shake off some stigma, really), and since they're saying 10 is still very early in development, perhaps Windows 9 isn't technically being skipped altogether.
But yeah, looking forward to what is hopefully the next good one in their backpedal-from-the-bad-and-improve-the-good cycle.
EDIT: On second thought, having actually looked through MasterQ32's link this time, they're quite open about not having a "Windows 9" at all. Never mind my rambling.
I'm just looking forward to seeing what comes of this!

NT was a separate development branch, like 2k. Technically Windows XP is the follower of Windows 2k (= NT 5.0), but for the private end user it was sold as follower of Windows ME. DOS based: Windows 1.0 Windows 2.x Windows 3.0 Windows 3.1 Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows Me (Follower: XP, not DOS based anymore) New Technology: (at first targeted enterprise use only) Windows NT 3.1 Windows NT 3.5 Windows NT 3.51 Windows NT 4.0 Windows 2000 (from here on, also for private users, finally with PnP) Windows XP Windows Server 2003 Windows XP Prof. x64 Windows Vista Windows Server 2008 Windows 7 Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows 8 Windows Phone 8 Windows RT Windows Server 2012 Windows 10 Taking away the server, tablet and phone editions, the picture is not all that wrong anymore (seeing fromprivate user's perspective) Windows 1.0 Windows 2.x Windows 3.0 Windows 3.1 Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows Me Windows XP / Windows XP Prof. x64 Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows 8 Windows 10
