It is hard to guarantee what the version # of the next OS will be :)
obviously, but I would do something like:
Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Version >= "6.0"
What's the reasoning or issue behind this specific "weird" question? :)

But can you do a detection of Vista and Vista+next OS?
It's a weird request I know....

Btw, if the goal is just to detect, Vista (and not the SKU a I replied
below), then:

will make it.
The Vista RTM build is "6.0.6000" regardless of the SKU (Vista Flavor).
5.0 Windows 2000, all flavors (SKU)
5.1 XP 32-bit, all flavors (SKU)
5.2 XP 64-bit if client, Windows Server 2003 if Server
6.0 Windows Vista, all flavors
6.0 Longhorn Server for now, but this may change ... Still under
development
as you know.
HTH.

If one wanted to build a WMI query that would capture Vista "and" any
other workstation OS after Vista... how would one build that query?
I know that this will capture Vista:
Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Version = "6.0.6000"
But will this catch any version of Vista after XP if, on the odd chance
they change the build number?
I know that you can also add a ProductType=1 that captures the
workstation only and not servers.....
But how can you build a WMI query string for Group policy filtering that
is smart enough to capture Vista OS and whatever comes out after Vista
(and yes, they are already looking for ideas for the next version see
Steve Riley's blog with questions about firewalls in the next version if
you don't believe me....

Also, can you do:
select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Caption contains "Vista" ?
