Revised "How do I determine the Windows OS version?" FAQ

[Stretchwickster]

Hi people,

I have updated my How do I determine the Windows OS version? FAQ due to reading a short article on "Windows Versions" by Brian Long in The Delphi Magazine. The article pointed out the existence of some helpful Delphi global variables which negate the need for using an API call. It also gave information on obtaining special version/service pack information which I have included to provide a more comprehensive GetOS function. GetOS recognises the following Windows versions: 95 (inc. OSR2), 98 (inc. SE), ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 Server. Enjoy!
