Ahaha, Windows 10? Is this serious? Thanks for the chuckle, Microsoft.

if(osName.startsWith("Windows 9")) {
    /*windows 95/98 code*/
}

... if that's how version checking for the OS is done, then something is horribly wrong.

Well, from what I read it was 3rd party that had code like that in their codebase.

Wow, thats amazingly hilarious. It just goes to show that arbitrary naming decided by a marketing department doesn't always help in the long run.

Windows 10 will in all probably be version 7.0 of Windows. (Windows 8.1 is Windows version 6.3).
