Hey, I’m the guy who made the jsPerf website.

The product token for Windows Server 2008R2 and Windows 7 is the same (6.1) so there’s technically no way to tell the difference. jsPerf is supposed to show you it could be both, not one of them. Is this bugged?

Much love to JSPerf.

OT, but, is there any way to embed the results dynamically?

There is, but it's not easily to digest at the moment. You need the Browserscope key + Google's visualization library. You can reference https://github.com/mathiasbynens/benchmark.js/blob/master/pl...

I'm not having a dig at the site. And I didn't know that about the product token.

Could you not do something with the user agent or do you get that already?

Benchmark.js (http://benchmarkjs.com), which jsPerf uses, does checks the UA string as well as feature tests for various environments. You can check the code out at https://github.com/mathiasbynens/benchmark.js/blob/master/be....

Here is a MSDN post that examines some of the platform tokens http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537503(VS.85).aspx
