Subject: Windows 2008 Server version detection by GetOSVersion()
GetOSVersion() returns "Win7" when running on Windows 2008 R2. According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724833(VS.85).aspx they both return dwMajorVersion 6 and dwMinorVersion 1, the only difference is that for Win7 OSVERSIONINFOEX.wProductType = VER_NT_WORKSTATION and for Win2008SP1 OSVERSIONINFOEX.wProductType != VER_NT_WORKSTATION I understand that adding this kind of 'smartness' into GetOSVersion is not desired, but I don't really see an alternative. Otherwise, I guess this should at least be added to the docs.
