How to read a build number of Windows

Many people can not decipher the code names of new assemblies. So, let's deal! For example, let's build of Windows 8 RTM: 6.2.9200.16384.win8_rtm.120725-1247 (RTM Final, Sign-OFF).

6.2 - kernel version;

9200 - major build number;

win8_rtm - code designation and extent of product development;

120725-1247 - the date and time in the format YYMMDD-HHMM (year, month, day, hour, minute).

From this we can conclude that the final RTM-build of Windows 8 was collected July 25, 2012 at 12 hours 47 minutes.
