Yes it was a typo.. Im not some secret microsoft agent using the new windows 8...

[frozerlaxegon]

what if I wanted to detect both Vista / 7 to take advantage of, example,

Code: Select all

 If TextBox1.Text.Contains("Premium") Then
                Timer1.Stop()
                'display aero and taskbar jump lists.

I can't just estimate that because the OS have the word "Premium" means it's gonna support fully of what Im gonna throw at it.
Means that if it contains "Premium" but it's "Vista", then the program self thought that it's running on "Premium" and "7", and that, causes my program to crash and hurt my beta testers and my feelings cryer;

what that code does first it checks if you are running windows 7 or vista and then what edition of windows 7/vista.
so for example, first check if the os is vista and then if it is then continue and call the os vista and then check what edition it is, for example Windows Vista Premium, but if it doesn't say vista, but it says 7 then its windows 7 premium...

Well it works, i have tested it... why don't you test it and see if it works

if i misunderstood you please explain more...
