    If you use precompiled directives, the output will be resulted by your own OS, not the target OS. I don't think you wan't to use that. If you do, just define the operating system in the beginning of the source file.

    But if you like the program to react on the users OS version, you can use the Environment.OSVersion to determine the current operating system.
