I use this way to identify the OS Version since Win8/8.1. In case they asl obreak this way I'll do the Windows API way. Until today every Windows Version brings new API commands. A new version has a few new APIs, it is also a try to use LoadLibrary/GetProceAddress to find out what API exist on what OS...

But I agree it is getting more and more strange at all...
