I had some bugs in my code, I have 2 functions, 1 for dots report and one for
dump, and I wasn't consistently using memset before calling GetVersionEx().
so things are actually working normal now. yay!
it's nice to know that OSVERSIONINFOEX is now automatic and working according
to docs. thanks for your work, guys. much appreciated!
Kudos!
