The reason for this is Microsoft it their wisdom have for some reason given Windows XP x64 and Windows 2003 the same platform token 'Windows NT 5.2'. This makes it difficult telling between the two OS's

Some research was done into this yesterday and it looks like because they both share the same platform token and there is nothing else within the browser user agent to tell the two apart there is no way to identify between Windows 2003 and Windows XP x64. We will continue to look into this, but why Microsoft have given both these completely different OS's the same platform token is totally beyond me. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
