## Summary In https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/18324, sys-info-rs was dropped in favor of a more native reimplementation to provide OsType and OsRelease. This PR adjusts two areas for windows to match closely previous behavior: 1. OsType should be `Windows` rather than `Windows_NT` https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/18324#discussion_r2902257834 as seen in https://github.com/FillZpp/sys-info-rs/blob/60ecf1470a5b7c90242f429934a3bacb6023ec4d/c/windows.c#L12. This also matches the output of `platform.system()` in CPython. 2. OsRelease previously used `GetVersionEx` in sys-info-rs. Looking closely, this was used primarily in `crates/uv-python/src/interpreter.rs` and not in linehaul as linehaul uses `platform.release()`. The problem with `GetVersionEx` is that it returns often the wrong version due to legacy reasons (e.g. may be stuck returning `6.2.9200`). The current implementation only returns the build number from the registry which is prone to problems across windows older variants. The implementation should use `RtlGetVersion` system call which returns the current major, minor, build in the same way as reported by `sys.getwindowsversion()` in CPython. In order to strike balance, this switches the implementation to use four octects `{major}.{minor}.{build}.{revision}` as recent windows versioning relies on major, build and revision where as older versions rely on major, minor and service pack. A windows-version crate by the same author as windows-rs was added as it includes the correct system calls for the windows versions. ## Test Plan Tested manually on both Windows desktop (10, 11) and Windows Server (2016).
