Thank you for the explanation.

> like how Microsoft is skipping Windows 9 because of how many programs execute version.startswith('Windows 9') and assuming that means Win95/Win98.

Has this been confirmed, or is it just internet speculation?

Two people on reddit claiming to be Windows devs "confirmed" it. https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2hwlrk/new_wind... https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2hwlrk/new_wind...

This isn't confirmation, but it certainly goes beyond speculation.

From what I understand, that Java API would not return "Windows 9". So while those tests are wrong, it would not cause a problem.

I have not seen a single case proposed that would actually break.

Didn't realise that -thank you :)
