lotd79227yOld software checking for os.version containing 9x for 95 & 98 editions.. :p
Would screw ancient stuff up with windows 9 ;D -
@lotd TIL that. Nice. Makes sense now.
(edit)
In fact, the whole "it's 10 now" thing stunk of apple marketing ploys, but now I know it's likely because of legacy code shortcuts, it feels microsoft again. -
@lotd but there is likely a windows 9 that can be made to work differently than all others

For some reason microsoft counts using the octary system. 8 is the last number. Adding 1 to 8 results in 0 and a carry. This is why windows 8 goes directly to 10.

Valve: "Hey Blizzard, can you make Overwatch? Then we'll make a successor to this DOTA mod thing. "
Blizzard: "Fine... but why?"
Valve: "We really want a Team Fortress successor, but we're out of numbers"
