I'm loooking for a solution of detecting the VISTA OS using VB.Net. I need it because I have a problem with one of my websites (which was designed especially for Vista) when it is displayed in a browser in XP, so I can load a different stylesheet.

Thank you in advance

It may not be the best solution because it is possible to spoof the useragent but you can use navigator.userAgent to check for the 'Windows NT 6.0' string.

You could use javascript and check navigator.userAgent for 'Window NT 6.0' or you could try to use System.Environment.OSVersion

I knew about navigator.userAgent but I didn't want to rely solely on javascript (you know, many visitors don't have js enabled in their browsers).

but the System.Environment will soon become my new best friend!

Thank you very much, Mark.
