OS Architecture

Registered by mar.mack

Could you add a field to indicate the OS architecture (16/32/64/128bits) ?

Because the fact that CPU is 64bits capable, does not prooved that OS also, because of some hardware limitations (as chipset 32bits on motherboard) or the need to execute very old application (Win 7 32Bits support 16 bits application, but Win7 64bits no)

For Windows agent:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment\PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
Tested results on Windows 32Bit = x86
Tested results on Windows 64Bit = AMD64
The key is called "PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE" but it seems to indicate the OS architecture, because Windows XP 32Bit installed on a 64bit capable CPU shows "x86".
