I guess it's this change..

The differences are probably from using the OSs idea of the platform 
name. You run XP, which reports itself as "Microsft Windows". LaruCorp 
runs, Win2K3, which reports itself as "Microsoft" only. My guess would 
be that when the other Win32 testers post results they'll fall onto 
those two buckets.

Don't know what Alexey's intent was though.
