Alex,
I was just looking at this the other day...
Basically when you ask for a version of Windows, you are not getting the
"public name" of Windows (Windows 95, Windows ME, etc.), you're getting the
actual version number of the operating system (which can tell you a lot
about where it came from).
Here's a list I've built so far:
Windows 95 = "Windows 4.0"
Windows 98 = "Windows 4.1"
Windows ME = "Windows 4.90"
Windows NT 4 = "NT 4.0"
Windows 2000 = "NT 5.0"
As you can see, Windows ME is built on the Windows 9x source code base,
which is why it is still "Windows 4.x". Both NT4 and 2000 are built on the
NT code base, which is why you get those different values.
Sorry, can't help with the QuickTime questions... anyone else?
