[nco2k]

i updated my code, to support Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and took the chance to post it in tricks n tips, so people may find it easier:

Code: Select all

#My_OS_Windows_NT3 = 5
#My_OS_Windows_95 = 10
#My_OS_Windows_NT4 = 15
#My_OS_Windows_98 = 20
#My_OS_Windows_ME = 25
#My_OS_Windows_2000 = 30
#My_OS_Windows_XP = 35
#My_OS_Windows_Server_2003 = 40
#My_OS_Windows_Vista = 45
#My_OS_Windows_Server_2008 = 50
#My_OS_Windows_7 = 55
#My_OS_Windows_Future = 100

You'd think that Microsoft would have a simple API call to return the string.

thanks for this!
I've put it into droopy's lib for those who still use it

They do, its in WMI though.

@lexvictory
if you want to put it in a userlib, imo it would be best to provide two functions. one which returns a value and one which returns a string. i have edited my above post.

Droopy's lib already had a function to output it as a string, I replaced it with this one seeing as it can differentiate between server/workstation and supports windows 7
