I've heard that too, but can that be true? Wouldn't a lot of stuff have stopped working on Windows ME (the next edition after Windows 98) if that were the case?

- jkaplowitz 6y agoNo, this wasn't for Windows executables working or not working in a core binary technical compatibility sense. This was for where either an app or a website needed to test the version number against several possible versions of Windows to determine which version of Windows they were running on and react (or reject) according to the programming. For later versions of Windows, programmers applied other tests, but none of those tests stepped on the "does it start with 9" test for 95/98. Using 9 for the version after 8.1 would have done so.
