Description
Microsoft changed the way GetVersionEx starting with Windows 8.1, it no longer reports correct versions in all cases. See JDK-8059803 for more details and how the JVM does it nowadays. I found several other calls to GetVersionEx that does version checking for no longer supported versions of Windows that could be cleaned out as well.
