Re: Do not return true to all kind of Windows OSI calls

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/_OSI-method.mspx :

"Any follow-on operating system from Microsoft that can support the 
Windows XP feature set will also return TRUE for Windows 2001. For 
example, if Microsoft released a follow-on operating system in 2003, it 
will probably be assigned a string of Windows 2003. This operating 
system would then return TRUE for the strings Windows 2001 and Windows 
2003, and it would return FALSE for all other strings."

So, no, it is not a test for Linux. Windows reports all versions, not 
just the current one.
