Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment:

I don't have a Windows 8.1 handy, but if "ver" reports the correct version, why 
not have platform.win32_ver() use _syscmd_ver() in case the other APIs report 
"6.2.9200" and then have win32_ver() the higher version ?!

FWIW: I don't think we should add anything to the python.exe manifest to have 
it report the correct version. This could potentially break other APIs. AFAIK, 
MS just used this "trick" to prevent having existing 8.0 applications fail on 
8.1 due to the minor version bump. I suppose they'll undo this with the next 
official Windows release.
