There is an operatingSystem object that has Platform, servicepack, version and versionstring. Here is an example straight from Microsoft help:

Visual Basic
' Example for the OperatingSystem constructor and the
' OperatingSystem.ToString( ) method.
Imports System
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Module OpSysConstructDemo

' Create and display an OperatingSystem object.
Sub BuildOSObj( pID As PlatformID, ver As Version )

    Dim os As New OperatingSystem( pID, ver )

    Console.WriteLine( "   {0}", os.ToString( ) )
End Sub 
    
Sub BuildOperatingSystemObjects( )

    ' The Version object does not need to correspond to an 
    ' actual OS version.
    Dim verNull     As New Version( )
    Dim verMajMin   As New Version( 3, 11 )
    Dim verMMBld    As New Version( 5, 25, 625 )
    Dim verMMBVer   As New Version( 5, 6, 7, 8 )
    Dim verString   As New Version( "3.5.8.13" )
        
    ' All PlatformID members are shown here.
    BuildOSObj( PlatformID.Win32NT, verNull )
    BuildOSObj( PlatformID.Win32S, verMajMin )
    BuildOSObj( PlatformID.Win32Windows, verMMBld )
    BuildOSObj( PlatformID.WinCE, verMMBVer )
    BuildOSObj( PlatformID.Win32NT, verString )
End Sub 
    
Sub Main( )
    Console.WriteLine( \_
        "This example of the OperatingSystem constructor " & \_
        "and " & vbCrLf & "OperatingSystem.ToString( ) " & \_
        "generates the following output." & vbCrLf )
    Console.WriteLine( \_
        "Create and display several different " & \_
        "OperatingSystem objects:" & vbCrLf )

    BuildOperatingSystemObjects( )
        
    Console.WriteLine(vbCrLf & \_
        "The OS version of the host computer is: " & \_
        vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "   {0}", \_
        Environment.OSVersion.ToString( ) )
End Sub

End Module

' This example of the OperatingSystem constructor and
' OperatingSystem.ToString( ) generates the following output.

' Create and display several different OperatingSystem objects:
'
' Microsoft Windows NT 0.0
' Microsoft Win32S 3.11
' Microsoft Windows 98 5.25.625
' Microsoft Windows CE 5.6.7.8
' Microsoft Windows NT 3.5.8.13
'
' The OS version of the host computer is:
'
' Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600.0
