Serious answer, they skipped 9 because Windows 95 + 98 are collectively known as Windows 9x. They didn't want a brand new Windows 9 next to Windows 9x which was 20 years older. Imagine how many morons would have installed the wrong drivers for everything too...

It was actually because a ton of legacy applications have code in it that starts like "if Win 9*" to catch all versions of 95 and 98, which would have fucked up in Windows 9.
