The current example with Microsoft Windows shows 95, 98, 2000 - but Microsoft hasn't used this scheme in, well, 18 years now.

However - they are using CalVer to describe their updates to Windows 10! See
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows-10/release-information
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4099479/windows-10-update-history

Where the version number (major update) uses the format YY0M, giving examples like "Windows 10 version 1703"

Nice! Let's find some way to work that into the site :)

As for the older examples, I still like to keep them around because 1) They establish a long history of CalVer, this isn't newfangled stuff 2) they were very much consumer-focused, and even non-technical users seemed to have no trouble parsing the year-version connection and 3) they hearken back to an age of Windows some might fondly remember as golden.

But that's great news about the the updates, could I convince you to make a PR?
