There are two candidates for a reasonable explanation.
1. Windows 8 has acquired such a reputation that no enterprise

distance.
2. Loads of applications developed in the NT/2000/XP era check to
seewhether they're running on old 'Personal' windows (95 or 98) or on
the'New Technology' versions. They do this by looking for a '9'.
Maybe MS can solve the problem in their time-tested fashion, by
renaming everything.
