- ourmandave 12y agoIf they're skipping why not just fast forward to Windows 2014 (or 15). That would keep up with SQL Server 2014 and Visual Studio, etc.
- devrelm 12y agoThis actually could be it. Too much legacy code that checks for "Windows 9*".
- stygiansonic 12y agoThis hypothesis is supported by this redditor's comment, who is apparently an MS dev: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2hwlrk/new_windows_version_will_be_called_windows_10/ckwq83x http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2hwlrk/new_windo... Also supported by this code search, which turns up a few classes in the JDK using this sort of check: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2i14ny/if_osnamestartswithwindows_9/ http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2i14ny/if_osnam...
