"Coyote" "Jackal" "Fox" "Dingo" ... "Redondo Beach"

I prefer to imagine the world where windows version names mirror street fighter version names.

"Super Windows X Turbo: World Warriors Edition" sounds pretty sweet to me.

Even that is too consistent. Maybe Windows 10.1, Windows 10.1 Update, Windows 10.1 Update Extended, etc.

(I guess the downvoters haven't installed Windows 8.1 Update.)

At some point maybe they'll take a hint from their Xbox division and call it Windows One.

Windows 10 is supposedly going to be the "last major version" of Windows. [1]

Also DirectX 11 was originally supposed to be the last major DirectX version with only some minor updates planned, since Microsoft saw no additional parts of the graphics pipeline that could additionally accelerated by hardware (Source: some AMD talk a few years ago).

A few months ago DirectX 12 was announced (and it's quite probable that AMD's Mantle was the reason for this roadmap change).

Don't they say that every time?

So why not "Windows X"? Oh...

For unix interoperability and palandromic satisfaction, we can now offer you X Windows for Windows X.

Not only OSX but OSX 10.10

That are a lot of 10s.
