Windows Vista: user-agent info?

When people shoot a help request to us, we grab their browser and WMP info.
Handy report if they are using IE.

I have a question, is there any identifying info which will show what
version of Vista someone has installed?

From guessing, if I see WMP version 11.0.6000.6324 and Windows NT 6.0 I
figure it's Vista Business edition. If I see "Media Center 5.0" In addition
to the above, I figure it's Vista Home Premium.

Is there any other identifying info I could use in this user-agent info to
tell if someone is running Home basic, Ultimate, or the UK version of Vista
that doesn't have WMP 11? Thanks for any input!

From what I can gather, if you see the addition of "Media Center 5.0" it's
Home Premium.

If it's lacking the media center, it's Business edition.

If it has MSDigitalLocker and media center 5.0 it's Ultimate edition.

Might not be a big deal for anyone else, but I wanted to post what i've
found so far in case it may help anyone else.
