Personally, I know very little about Microsoft Windows. Only by reading this list have I recently learned that Windows 10 (or 8 or whatever) is part of the "NT family" of Windows. And only two minutes ago I checked Wikipedia and learned that Windows XP is also part of that same family. I would guess that some less tech-savvy users than me (you would perhaps think there are none, but there are!) might be confused by the above, and not immediately realize that the "NT family" includes also all the recent versions of Windows. So perhaps we should keep "the latest version" or something like that. Best regards, Stefan Kangas
