I have a (local) patch that returns the true version number on Windows and the value of "uname -r" on Linux. I'll clean it up and sent it for review.

Okay, it's been a bit of a while since I pestered the list, so here I am with another pesky question. I know the System.Environment.OSVersion property is hard coded to 5.1.2600.0 (which PNET have copied) but I don't have a complete understanding of why this is. I was thinking that some OSes like GNU/Linux don't have definitive version numbers (although I guess the kernel build gets close), but since a number of OSes do have definitive version numbers, and I right in assuming the value might be retrieved from an internal call in due course?
