Third time lucky for Windows 10 2004? Microsoft yet again fiddles with code and adds a go-live SDK licence

Oh come on Microsoft. You've already skipped Windows 9 (possibly to avoid poorly programmed version checks confusing it with Windows 95 or 98), so how about skipping all public version numbers between 1995 and 2050?

Calling it "2004" makes me have flashbacks to XP 'Media Center Version 2004', and no one wants to remember that.

(Although thinking about that did remind me of the ATI 'All-In-Wonder' cards, that combined a TV tuner in a graphics card. They were kind of cool.)
