Thank you for the explanation. > like how Microsoft is skipping Windows 9 because of how many programs execute version.startswith('Windows 9') and assuming that means Win95/Win98. Has this been confirmed, or is it just internet speculation?

This isn't confirmation, but it certainly goes beyond speculation. https://searchcode.com/?q=if%28version%2Cstartswith%28%22windows+9%22%29 https://searchcode.com/?q=if%28version%2Cstartswith%28%22win...

  From what I understand, that Java API would not return "Windows 9". So while those tests are wrong, it would not cause a problem. I have not seen a single case proposed that would actually break.
