\nAn earlier name for\nWindows Server 2003 was Microsoft Windows .NET Server,\nand in the final weeks leading up the the product’s release,\nwe received the following bug from a beta tester:\n<\/P>\n
\nWhen I call the GetVersionEx<\/CODE> function on\nbuild 3773, the OS name is still reported as\n“Microsoft Windows .NET Enterprise Server”.\nI have attached a sample program illustrating the bug.\n<\/BLOCKQUOTE>\n\nI found this kind of confusing, because the GetVersionEx<\/CODE>\nfunction doesn’t return a human-readable product name.\nIntriguged, I took a look at the sample program and it wasn’t too hard to\nsee where the bug was.\nThe program contained the lines\n<\/P>\n\nif ( osvi.dwMajorVersion == 5 && osvi.dwMinorVersion == 2 )\n lstrcpyn(szOS, L”Microsoft Windows .NET”, MAX_PATH);\n<\/PRE>\n\nIn other words, the program had the incorrect string\nhard-coded into it.\n<\/P>\n
\nI reported my findings back to the person who submitted the bug,\nand the response was “Oops, sorry about that.”\n<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
