Strange argument... how does that prevent checks versus Windows 7, 8 and 1* all of which would be less than 9.

[–] Wrrzag@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Because it checks if the version starts with the string "Windows 9*", not wether the number is less than 9.

This is a myth - code that checks the version number uses the internal version number, which is 4.0 for Windows 95.
