How do I determine which operating system is running

Platform: WinForms| Category: Deployment

The Environment class in the System namespace has this information.

[C#]
	string versionText = Environment.OSVersion.Version.ToString();

[VB.NET]
	Dim versionText As String = Environment.OSVersion.Version.ToString()

The Version property has member properties such as Major and Minor that give additional information.

Note that XP is windows version 5.1
