Windows 10 kernel passes from version 6.4 to version 10

If skipping version 9 for its desktop operating system was not sufficient to prove that Microsoft is exceptionally optimistic about the prospects of the platform, the underlying code should clarify once and for all giant intentions of technology. The Redmond company still sees Windows 10 as a radical overhaul of its operating system.

Currently, Windows 10 Technical Preview nucleus is known to be version 6.4 . Specifically, 6.4.9879 last update pushed to beta testers. But the next pre-release should be designated as version 10.0 .

As tel., If upgrade to version 10 is formalized, it will be a single decision for the first time in two decades. In the early days of desktop operating system, developers have identified the 3 code as Windows 3.0. But with erratic marketing strategy and minor update policy have changed the habits of the firm, and we have seen Windows 7 to be logged to version 6.1 for compatibility with various programs.

The confusion grew, and the gap between the two figures has only climb, especially when deployed Microsoft Windows 8, with a kernel to version 6.2, and Windows 8.1, known version 6.3. However, this difference seems to be overhauled, at least from a symbolic point of view.

What are the consequences for those working on the desktop application and web compatibility? According to Microsoft's own words , "if you have code that depends on the version number, you are advised to update to reflect the new value" . In simple terms, you will simply need to add exceptions for the values ​​of the UA string for Windows NT code 10.0 . I know this is simplified to the maximum, but that's the idea.

Meanwhile, lambdas users with little or no knowledge in creating applications should just take this as another bold statement bold goals of the Redmond company on Windows 10. Hopefully the firm manage to do that she has in mind, and listen to consumer feedback . Everything else is just hype.
