Hi,
For Win 7 I get version 6.1... funny counting. After some research I found the following matches (not tested!):
Win 95: 4.0
Win 98: 4.1
Win XP: 5.1
Win Vista: 6.0
Win 7: 6.1
Win 8: 6.2

This can is given directly as string with:
print, (widget_info(/version)).Release

Thanks for the tip!
Helder

Look for the release number within the version information of
widget_info:

IDL> print,widget_info(/version)
{ Windows Win32 5.1}

This is what I get on WinXP.
