I found the platform module but it says it returns 'Windows' and it's returning 'Microsoft' on my machine. I notice in another thread here on stackoverflow it returns 'Vista' sometimes.
So, the question is, how do implemement?
if is_windows():
...
In a forward compatible way? If I have to check for things like 'Vista' then it will break when the next version of windows comes out.
Note: The answers claiming this is a duplicate question do not actually answer the question is_windows. They answer the question "what platform". Since many flavors of windows exist none of them comprehensively describe how to get an answer of isWindows.
