Windows .NET was renamed to Windows 2003 before it was released. So $os should return 2003 instead of .NET

After you see (Not responding), Ctrl+Break doesn't work. Note that I've only seen this on WinXP, I have no idea what happens on other Windows versions. /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com
