Returns version information for the Windows operating system the
code is running on. See MSDN documentation for the GetVersion()
function. To summarize, the most significant bit is one on Win9x,

on NT-based systems, so checking whether your are running on Win9x

Windows NT 4, and 5 on Windows XP. Software that needs really
detailed version and feature information should use Win32 API like
GetVersionEx() and VerifyVersionInfo().
Since 2.6
