Clearly document each OS version. The Windows 9x or
Windows 95/98 is inaccurate. You may support different
service packs of each operating system.

My rule is to always list them out in a unordered list
(that's a bulleted list, in case ya didn't know).

* Windows 98 SP1
* Windows NT4 SP2
* Windows 2000 Professional SP1
* Windows XP Professional SP1

Yadda yadda yadda...

To be less specific is to allow for a margin of error
you may not be accounting for.
