Microsoft's next update is called Windows 10 2004
Microsoft's big feature update that will follow Windows 10 1909 is going to be named 'Windows 10 2004'. The name and numbering have been slightly altered to prevent confusion.
Microsoft changes normally are called xx03 and xx09, where 'xx' was entered with the last two digits of the year in which the version in question was released. This has been done not to cause confusion with, for example, Windows Server 2003.
''Eagle-eyed Windows Insiders will notice that as of this build, 20H1 officially shows it is version 2004. We have chosen to use 2004 as the version to eliminate confusion with any past product names (such as Windows Server 2003).''

Yeah... the memes, at first I wondered what win version was released in 2004, turns out none so far...
Still contemplating if keeping win10 over various versions will be the last windows we ever get since... why not name it "windows" only then?
But who cares, build number usually says enough.

So why not call it 20H1 and 20H2?
As I understand 03 (or now 04) meant MS trying to launch the update in March, but it always gets delayed until summer anyway.

It's english-only. Non-english people won't understand it. And it's not a decimal digital. There could be a lot of code made in mind that version number is a decimal digit.

It's gonna be the 9th major update?
Any sane person would have just called it Windows 10 Update 9.

Because it is already used in the Insider ring for XBox and Windows...
and anyway it's just the name of the build that would be similar to an old version of the OS, it's not so important.
