PCSX2 does not report the correct version of Windows XP

Operating System = Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build 2600)

i.e. I have Windows XP Professional SP3 (32bit) NOT Home Edition

Just FWIW(and to avoid making a new thread), PCSX2 doesn't report Windows 10 Tech Preview right either.

I suspect it's pulling the OS string from a non usual place. SCP DS3 Wrapper Detected Windows 10 Tech Preview just fine, despite being written long before it was ever made.

lol... I am not a newb ty..... I know the workings of a PC intimately (plus a bit of C & C++, i have my own temperature converter console program)...
anyhow this PC was a LAN center PC before he gave it to me (ie I volunteered for that biz for 3 years(2008-2011) do to economy issues)

I know for an ABSOLUTE certainty that it and all other PCs at G2 were all Windows XP Professional 32bit and only the server was different (ie Windows Server 2003)..

anyway... I happy to see so many good replies on this bug ^_^

You can install it in a VM for testing, or if you wanna go supernerd then you can boot it from a VHD file.

Any chance we can get this fixed some time this year ;D

[willkuer]

Why is it necessary to solve this problem within this year?
