I think it would be easy to detect if the server's OS is Windows or
the browser is IE.

On Windows servers the first three letters of the PHP_OS constant are
"WIN" and I think all recent version of IE have "MSIE" in the user
agent string (actually "MSIE[space][digit]").

if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) == 'WIN'
  || eregi('msie',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))

would do it.  Just a thought...
