Getting the OS version`

[Jack Russell]

Is there any easy way of getting the os version in vb.net. I used to use
an api call in vb6 but thought that there might be an easier way.

Thanks

Talking to myself, I found it environment.operatingsystem, and it is as
bad as the API call!

I assume you are referring to 'Environment.OSVersion'. Why do you think
that it is as bad as the API call?

Although, if you need to fin out if its XP Home/Professional or the version
of the OS is Data Centre then you need to use a different method
