Slightly off topic, but with Android going back to version numbers instead of desert names, the next version will be Android 10 .. so we'll have Windows 10, macOS X (10.something) and Android 10. Arguably, Apple has been in the 10 camp longest.

Windows 10 X just sounds like reverse macOS (MacOS X 10.x)




Minor nitpick - macOS no longer has an "X" in its name. The latest version is just macOS 10.14.6.


The iPhone X is also still a thing, as well as a lot of Android phones on the bandwagon (and various products like the Tesla Model X, X Windows, X-Files).

I have been irritated by the X-trend for a while, but now it's really getting insane.


> desert

"dessert". Easy mnemonic: It's so sweet they had to give it two S's :) (thanks Justin McElroy)
