Bug description:phpinfo() reports Professional Editions of Windows 7/8/8.1/10 as
"Business"
Description:
------------
Microsoft changed the behavior of GetProductInfo with Windows 7 and
upwards:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724358%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Obviously due to maintain backwards compatibility, applications that
were compiled to be compatible with Windows Vista report the
Professional, Professional N, and Starter N editions of Windows as
Business, Business N, and Starter.
We could fix this by defining _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0600 or higher, but
would then loose Windows Vista support.
The pull request fixes that in a pretty straight forward way. There
could be a more elaborate fix, since the "official" wording for the
Professional editions from Windows 8 onwards is "Pro", but I'd say we
leave it for now.
Bug #55319 reports a specific aspect of this bug, namely the "Business"
instead of "Professional".
Test script:
---------------
<?php
phpinfo(INFO_GENERAL);
Expected result:
----------------
Output contains "Windows 7 Professional" on a Windows 7 Professional
machine.
Actual result:
--------------
Output contains "Windows 7 Business".
