If spaces are allowed (dunno), 'Windows NT/2000/XP' might be alright,
along with 'Windows 9x/ME'. In the (granted, relatively unlikely) event
that somebody has a 9x *and* an XP installation of Windows on his box,
having just 'Windows' for one entry might be confusing.
If there is only one Windows detected, it would be nice to call it just
'Windows' though, I guess.
Anyway, this is all fairly minor and nitpicking.
