While it makes sense I hope they won't do it.. 3 years after 8 there will be Windows 9 and WP9, ( with the rate phone os are going probably 9,5) so it will sound outdated and confusing for the consumer.. trying to convince everyone to buy a "8" product while 9 is out will be hard..

I doubt it'll be that confusing. The only people who'd know are nerds like us :P . The "casuals"out there won't make the connection between an os on pc vs a number on a console. If it was called xbox windows 8 then maybe, or they marketed it as having windows 8, which they could stop in 3 years or whenever 9 come out anyway, which could be loger away than 3 years from the launch, assuming they'd call it windows 9 in the first place!
