Windows 7 x64 shows up in client properties as Vista(6)

Windows 7 x64 client shows up in client properties as Vista(6) but the policy clearly states that it is Windows 7 x64.  I am running 7.5.0.3  Why is that?

Seems perfectly normal (although we don't like it!).

My laptop has Windows7 as OS and Windows-x64 selected in the policy.

When connecting to my laptop in Host Properties, 'WindowsVista(6)' is displayed in OS column.

version.txt has the following contents:

HARDWARE Windows x64
VERSION NetBackup 7.5.0.6

the OS listing in the policy might not be the accurate.. because its just a selection at the time of client addtion to the policy there is a possiblity of selecting wrong OS, unless admin colose detects it automatically.

clients properites would be the one that communicates with the client and the get the OS and netbbackup verison details 

login to the client and see the file \\installpath\\veritias\netbackup\bin\version
