maybe not 9, to avoid breaking compatibility...
- TheAmazingRace 2y agoI understood this reference.
- lencastre 2y agoI didn’t… is because of Windows Nein?
- bravetraveler 2y agoHand wavy fears about the 9th version poorly string matching with 95 or 98 I guess
- Liquix 2y agoback in the day there was a healthy blend of win95, 98, ME, XP, and vista in the wild. it was common for devs to check for older versions with something like `if str(os.version)[0] == 9`. according to legend enough (internal?) software kept breaking that the solution became "don't put a 9 in the version number". iirc they officially stated it was because of how much people disliked win8.
- TheAmazingRace 2y agoThis is exactly where my mind went. The version string.
