I am writing a VB 2008 Console Application that I need to have determine if it is running on a server OS or not. It does not matter if it is 2000, 2003, or 2008. It only matters if it is running on a Server

What is the easiest way to do this?

Is Environment.OSVersion.Platform on the right track?
 
Yes. That is the direction I would take for OS Version checking.

Otter: Germans?
