If you're running, click Start > Run, type "WinVer" and then click OK, or click Start > Search, type "Winver" and then click on "WinVer.exe"
What version of Windows are you running again? If it's Windows XP it'll be version 5.1, Windows Vista is version 6.0, Windows 7 is version 6.1, and Windows 8 is 6.2.
It begs the question, what's in a name? Obviously the kernel version doesn't determine the number on the OS, so why should it matter whether or not there is an 8 after Xbox? It's the 8th Generation and the OS behind the scenes is reportedly Win 8. The only downside would be if Microsoft maintained a 10 year lifecycle.
The reality is, Microsoft will likely use a word name. Microsoft's hardware consumer products tend to have names over numbers.
