      Hey guys,

      No "Win6" is not a type-o in my Subject I found the text like that in "2.2.4-RELEASE (i386) built on Sat Jul 25 19:56:41 CDT 2015" under VPN / OpenVPN  | Client Export | Windows Installers (2.3.8-Ix01): x86-xp x64-xp x86-win6 x64-win6…

      So type-o or Trololol

        Actually, it's been 6.x all the way from Vista (referring to the build numbers.)

        Operating System Version @MSDN

              It's supposed to be "win6" there though I don't recall exactly if it was because it was for Windows 6.x and later or if it was also an indicator that it was NDIS 6-based drivers, or both. I recall taking the name from something on OpenVPN at the time I did it.

              Mostly it needed to be an easy indicator to say "Later than XP" without writing out Vista/7/8/10.

I just found it really funny when I seen that an I was like if this a joke or what? but like I said before I'm new to the keeping up with build #'s so really all n all I don't know and I cool with saying i'm wrong lol
