1st W7 RTM build 7600.16384: Did MS named it cause They like the nos?

Funny thing is, he's right about it having to be a multiple of 16 :)

Thanks to Brandon, appreciate the endorsement. :)

Is it for the reason stated (using the bottommost nybble for SP) or for some other reason? And if it is used for the SP level, why is Microsoft doing this? It's just encouraging developers to use those bits from GetVersion for the SP level instead of getting the SP level from GetVersionEx, with the latter being more future-proof than the former and there's less potential for future compatibility bugs that might arise out of forcing people to use GetVersionEx (not to mention, some developers may even get this wrong and do "%=10" instead of "&=0xF").

In any case, with the 16 and round constraint established, I would venture an early guess at the RTM number for W8: 8800. ;)

You can actually go one step further and make it : W8 1st RTM candidate: 8800.16384....

Oh! What the heck, make it : 8800.16384.120xxx.1xxx :rolleyes:
