Even though Qt is a cross-platform toolkit, that does not mean every Qt 
user writes cross-platform software, does it? On windows, I believe you 
_can_ get this kind of information. If my application is targeted at 
Windows, why should I not rely on this kind of information? Just like 
with local/remote, the information may not be available in all cases or 
on all platforms, but that does not mean the information is useless in 
all other cases or on all platforms.
