Using the Windows api, I came up with this quick hack which may or may
not have much merit :) :
require "Win32API"
GetVersionEx = Win32API.new("kernel32", "GetVersionEx", 'P', 'L')
def system_version
osversioninfo = [
148, # size of this struct (IN)
0, # major version (OUT)
0, # minor version (OUT)
0, # build (OUT)
0, # platform (OUT)
"\0" * 128 # additional info (OUT)
].pack('LLLLLa128')
GetVersionEx.call(osversioninfo)
osver = osversioninfo.unpack('LLLLLZ128')
major_minor_rev = osver[1].to_s + '.' + osver[2].to_s
case major_minor_rev
when '6.0' : return "Longhorn/Vista" + ' ' + osver[5]
when '5.2' : return "Windows Server 2003" + ' ' + osver[5]
when '5.1' : return "Windows XP" + ' ' + osver[5]
when '5.0' : return "Win2k" + ' ' + osver[5]
when '4.90' : return "Windows Me" + ' ' + osver[5]
when '4.10' : return "Windows 98" + ' ' + osver[5]
when '4.0' :
if osver[4] == 2
return "Windows 95" + ' ' + osver[5]
else
return "Windows NT 4.0" + ' ' + osver[5]
end
else
return "Unknown OS"
end
end
puts system_version
Longhorn and Vista appear to share the same version numbers, otherwise
that's the general idea.
