Running .Net apps on different versions of Windows

I have a .Net application (VB, VS 2005, FX 2) running in more than one
country. As part of the product registration process, some information on the
computer is collected and sent to a web service; this includes the operating
system which is obtained using the My.Computer.Info.OSFullName function. For
some machines we get "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" and for others
"Microsoft Windows NT
5.1.2600 Service Pack 2". I understand these are essentially the same
product but the fact that they have a different set of environment variables
(at least for name) suggests that there are some differences. Is it safe to
assume that an app running on either of these installations of Windows will
behave the same?
