All these discussions are really rather moot. We will never *be* any 
particular version of Windows. We might as well report the latest, 
giving the user the option to change it for finicky programs.

As I mentioned previously, we ought to default to reporting a "future" 
version of Windows, just to keep nosy version-checking apps happy.
