Which is awesome, but highlights another problem: even if MS inserted a special character between "Windows" and "9", it needs to count on all intermediate libraries/platforms to do the same.
What I mean is, for a user-land program to break, all it needs is that the platform underneath it identifies "Windows(r) 9", whose version is 6.3 as "Windows 9". Maybe they also thought it was too much to count on everyone reporting it as "Windows(r) 9"?
For something as big as Java I'm sure that's easily communicable. Maybe less so with the breadth of libraries and platforms available..
