FYI, There always have been actual version numbers under the hood. They kind of messed up 7's number. I guess they had so much trouble changing things from 5.1 to 6.0, they decided another major version bump would be problematic. They apparently changed their minds with 10.
3.10 - 3.1
4.00 - 95
4.10 - 98
4.90 - ME
NT 5.0 - 2000
NT 5.1 - XP
NT 6.0 - Vista
NT 6.1 - 7
