Using Linux to determine version of Windows

This is an odd question and I didn't really know what category it fits. I just installed Ubuntu 12.10. During the installation process, the screen informed me that Windows 7 was installed in a particular partition.

I'm just wondering how this was accomplished. Using 'fdisk -l' will indicate NTFS partitions but does not give specifics of the Windows version.
