Sorry, what's .Net again?

The runtime? You mean .Net, or .Net Core, or .Net Framework? Oh, you mean a web framework in .Net. Was that Asp.Net or AspNetcore?

Remind me why we let the "Can't call it Windows 9" company design our enterprise language?

Can't call it Windows 9

But that actually made sense! They care about backwards compatibility.

For those not in the know: some legacy software checked if the OS name began with "Windows 9" to differentiate between 95 and future versions.

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

[–] Wrrzag@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

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