Look up "GetVersion" in your Win32 API documentation.

No reliable way in standard C++. If you are only interested in Windows
versions, you might be able to find something in the Windows API (or ask
in a Windows programming group).

On any posix-compliant OS, which includes Windows NT apparently, you
can use the uname(2) system call. There is no Standard way to do
this.
