>>The 6.1 thing is only for compatibility issue. Some software only check the first digit when verifying the OS version. So if they use something like
IF VERSION() = 5 OR VERSION() = 6
>> *-- Proceed
>>ELSE
>> *-- Wrong OS
>>ENDIF
the software will still run under Windows 7. If they changed the version to 7.0, the code above would have broken.
