Call for assistance: can somebody with access to Windows 8 provide an
appropriate tested patch so that winProductName can recognize Windows 8
(various flavors, including Windows Server 8)?
Getting the System Version
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724429%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
has not been updated yet. Rumor suggests GetVersionEx will return "6.2"
for Windows 8, but information about distinguishing the various flavors
is...not easily found?
