Anybody try out FFXIV on Windows 10

Where did 9 go?

There are lots of rumours/statements about it. My particular favorite is that a lot of older code in programs wasn't future proofed well enough and just defaults Windows 9* to 95 or 98 since the naming scheme at the point seemed to point toward a year of publishing rather than a product number. We will probably never know.

well we have Vista which was NT6
Then we have 7 which was NT6.1 and the seventh OS on the NT kernel.
then we have 8 which is NT6.2 and the eight OS on the NT kernel.
Then 8.1 which was NT6.3 and the ninth OS on the NT kernel..

Now we have 10, which is 6.4 and the 10th OS on the NT kernel.

You don't determine the windows version on the name string, you do so on the version string - also windows XP and up can fake the name and version strings

MS probably skipped the number because they're afraid it'd be associated too closely with Windows 8 and thus be avoided.

I haven't played for an extended amount of time, but it seemed to be working just fine for the ten or fifteen minutes I was on earlier. Wouldn't recommend trying the 14.9 beta stuff if you've got a recent AMD card though.

Win10 will have many issues atm with games since they are updated for only 8.1.

Now there will be some games that wont have any issues or just a small enough that you wont notice tho since they do tend to add small patches that gives the game basic support for a new update

They knew windows 9 would be bad so they just skipped it entirely.

Yes, issues are to be expected. This is a very early alpha preview of the OS and is intended for PC enthusiasts and IT as stated by Microsoft. Square Enix will not provide support to anyone running Windows 10.
