Did they actually call it that? I thought it was just a typo on the bbc feed.

Nope, they've just gone full-derp and skipped a number. Perhaps their Tablet OS counts as 9 ??

Funnily enough it's to do with versions of Windows. Windows 8 is actually Windows 6.1. I bring this up because of the naming conventions that Windows uses. For example, there's a hilarious code within the Windows OS that goes like this:

Code:

if(version.StartsWith("Windows 9"))
{ /* 95 and 98 */
} else {

Basically they can't call it Windows 9 because it's looking for the wrong Windows system.

Frikkin' hilarious. 

Edit: I already commented about this. Whoops.
