This question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19128219/detect-windows-8-1-in-python reports that Python is returning incorrect version info under Windows 8.1. Alas, it appears MS is "deprecating" `GetVersionEx()`: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724451(v=vs.85).aspx and replacing it with a whole slew of annoying "yes or no?" functions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn424972(v=vs.85).aspx Heh ;-)
