Many applications contain code to check the version number of Windows, and assume Windows 95 or 98 if the version number starts with 9.

Rather than break all that old code they went to 10.

That so? Thanks for this explanation, Ken.

At least I think that’s the explanation... have run across it in several other places. I understand the desire to not break something that works — spent many years of my life digging through old code to fix problems introduced by other software changes.
