Today I was looking for a way to determine whether I was on Windows >= Vista and couldn't find anything so I came up with this [1].

That led me to think about platform module. 
Honestly I can't see the usefulness of it as it doesn't give you any usable API to figure out what platform version you're on.
As such would something like [1] be acceptable for inclusion?
