| | Running .Net apps on different versions of Windows I have a .Net application (VB, VS 2005, FX 2) running in more than one country. As part of the product registration process, some information on the computer is collected and sent to a web service; this includes the operating system which is obtained using the My.Computer.Info.OSFullName function. For some machines we get "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" and for others "Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2". I understand these are essentially the same product but the fact that they have a different set of environment variables (at least for name) suggests that there are some differences. Is it safe to assume that an app running on either of these installations of Windows will behave the same? Pete |
