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.

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.

That is certainly not how it is done.

Compile time optioning:

Run time optioning:

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