A quick look suggests that (w32-version) does this. Results should be: (5 1 2600) ;; XP (5 2 3790) ;; XP 64bit, Server 2003, Server 2003 R2 (6 0 6000) ;; Vista, Server 2008 (6 1 7600) ;; Windows 7, Server 2008 R2 (6 2 9200) ;; Windows 8, Server 2012 You can find the major and minor version numbers here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724832%28v=vs.85%29.aspx For Vista and later the build number changes with service packs etc. AndyM
