Re: Win95 detection

[Nathaniel Hall <halln () otc edu>]

I know that GFI LANguard can determine the difference between XP and 
2000 machines.  I believe that it will detect 95/98/ME too.  The biggest 
problem is that it is expensive.  They do, however, offer a demo version 
that will let you scan up to 25 machines at a time.  Take a look at 
www.gfi.com
