Ted,
I have no idea what the IANA registered OS name for Windows ME should be,
but I'm copying Jeffrey Schlimmer at Microsoft who may either know or get
the right folks at Microsoft to register Windows ME name with IANA.
Jeff,
Here is the info on IANA registered OS names. We have an IPP spec for down
loading printer drivers that uses these names to identify the OS. These OS
names are used in many other contexts as well. So it would be good if
Microsoft would register its most recent OS names.
http://www.iana.org/numbers.htm#O
These are the Official System Names as they appear in the Domain Name System
HINFO records and the NIC Host Table. Their use is described in [RFC952].
A system name may be up to 40 characters taken from the set of
uppercase letters, digits, and the three punctuation characters
hyphen, period, and slash. It must start with a letter, and end with
a letter or digit.
The currently registered Microsoft OS names (from
http://www.iana.org/numbers.htm#O) are:
MSDOS
WINDOWS-95
WINDOWS-95-OSR1
WINDOWS-95-OSR2
WINDOWS-98
WINDOWS-CE
WINDOWS-NT
WINDOWS-NT-2
WINDOWS-NT-3
WINDOWS-NT-3.5
WINDOWS-NT-3.51
WINDOWS-NT-4
WINDOWS-NT-5
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
I am looking at the IANA registered os-names and can't find a Windows ME
specifier. What will be the registered name for this?
