[DUG] Help Detecting Windows Version

[Jolyon Smith]

More seriously... on your hunt for info, did you come across this perchance:

http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/system/systeminformation/article.php/c8973

Not Delphi code, but more general information which should be easily
incorporated in your current algorithm I should think.

The only thing it doesn't show explicitly is determining the bit-ness
(32/64), for which this may help:

Note that there is crucial information in the comments, specifically that if
you intend writing code that will port to Win64 (should Embarcadero ever
deliver) and still correctly identify 64-bit-ness.

Hi, has anyone got a function they can share that will detect all
current versions of Windows out there?
F.i. My old routine cant detect Windows Server 2008 64 bit
Tried googling but can only find outdated code like mine.
