I'm no expert on this (I don't even use XP) but the WMI Win32_OperatingSystem class seems to give a useful string here: <code> import wmi c = wmi.WMI () for os in c.Win32_OperatingSystem (): print os.Caption </code> gives "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" and "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" on a couple of machines I tried.
