It's always had build numbers, which the regular APIs do not, because the 
regular APIs are meant for detecting incompatibilities rather than reporting.

Since there are some incompatibilities, I hope they'll rev the minor version 
number, but I have no idea if that's planned yet. In theory I have early access 
to the release build already, but I haven't installed it on anything.

Eventually I think we're going to need some kind of WMI call in the platform 
module to get the right data for reporting. Until then, we're making best 
guesses from heuristics.
