--- Comment #6 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
(In reply to Adolfo Jayme from comment #5)

No objection if somebody wants to implement that burden (so that the map would
need to be further maintained). Mind comment 2. Also mind that, even though a
gymnastics might look overly tiresome, there are other considerations to take
into account:

1. The OS version must *not* be shortened to become uninformative: so in
addition to the fancy name, the real NT version is still needed, because
sometimes the build is crucial to detect a compatibility problem (there were
precedents with MS-introduced bugs that were then fixed by MS).
2. You can't "merge" the fancy version and NT version, because it would
introduce *wrong* NT version, with potential to confuse and also to become
ambiguous if MS decides to create an NT version that coincides with such
home-made merged version (I mean, a string like "Windows 11 build 22000" is
invalid for what is currently reported like "Windows 10.0 build 22000").
3. The full version should be reported in About dialog, not only in text copied
by "Copy to clipboard" button there, because no one must be forced to play
"copy me then paste somewhere to check if my system info matches reporter's"
gymnastics.
4. There are considerations about too long strings in About dialog. E.g., Heiko
even shortened the commit hash.
