I've been told with no evidence that they skipped "Windows 9" because there are still programs out there that check the version string to determine whether the computer is running "Windows N" for NT or "Windows 9" for 95 or 98. Seems a bit specious to me - there's a version number in the version string, after all - but I can imagine lazy programmers doing it that way.
