Subject: Re: Do not return true to all kind of Windows OSI calls
Date: Sat, 2 Aug 2008 20:48:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080802194843.GA1168@srcf.ucam.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200808021930.05643.trenn@suse.de>
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.
