And win8 is 6.2... win8.1 is 6.3... arghhh! you get the picture.... it's all the same thing with slightly different skins.
Well... yes and no.
For example, Windows 7 uses a NT 6.1 *kernel*, but the kernel isn't windows. It's the whole release build - kernel + userspace.
kernel version != operating system version
This is much the same as the "machine" I'm on now runs Mint 17.1 in a virtual machine, but the kernel is Linux 3.13.0.
