    Windows 9

    Woah, that’s sounding a bit too logical, there.

    Even better is that the Windows 11 version number isn’t 11, it’s 10.0.22000.

        Reason was that old naming schemes from 95 and 98 messed up their shit.

      Windows 95 was version 3.95 because returning 4.0 from the GetVersion api broke loads of software that was doing stupid checks.

      People then started hardcoding checks for 3.95…

      GetVersion has been deprecated completely now…

      That’s cause 11 is mostly the same as 10 under the hood barr a few additions. But is mostly regarded as just a better front-end for 10
