I can't speak for future versions, but when I had RC0 and the release version of the runtime installed, both version numbers appeared in the HTTP_USER_AGENT string. Also, ClrVersion only returned the first one (the earlier one). This means that user could have a newer version installed and you wouldn't know it if you were checking the ClrVersion property.
