    I thought it was because the number 9 was associated with suicide in some cultures.

      I don’t think Microsoft is that culturally sensitive. :)

        Don’t be naive. Every corpo that size has entire departments dedicated to branding and sales. It’s not about cultural sensitivity, it’s about what sells.

          I would love to say that’s true, but how many times have we seen the corporate equivalent of stepping on a rake because either a) they have no department like that or b) someone was asleep at the switch?

        Comparatively they seem okay, but it’s a low bar for international megacorporations.

        They would be if it meant selling more product. But I doubt that’s the reason here.
