We need to be able to at least tell whether we're on Windows or Unix from the PSVersionTable.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to differentiate Windows Server, Windows Desktop, Nano Server, OS X, and BSD from Linux.

Since PSEdition Core runs on Windows (and even Windows Desktop), and since CLRVersion will presumably be the same across all versions of Core (even if it were populated #1984), and since "BuildVersion" is going backwards ...

I also think that PSVersionTable should expose "Architecture" (ARM, AMD64, x86).

Agreed and suggested this in #1936 as well as a change to the Issue template to make issues easier to track

It would make for a nice way to gather information for a bug report. I like. And on Linux, you probably want the specific version i.e. not just Ubuntu but something to distinguish between 14.04 and 16.04. Also, Architecture needs to disambiguate between OS architecture and current process architecture e.g. PowerShell x86 running on Windows x64.

Sorry. I couldn't find it (searching for PSVersionTable is pointless in here)

No problem, I opened it, so I knew it was there. I did search for PSVersionTable first, way too many hits, so added OS and many fewer hits.
