Assuming you are referring to versionhelpers.h, it as some drawbacks:
- requires to install Windows 8.1 SDK
- allows just to identify than an OS is equal or greater than a given version
So multiple calls to VerifyVersionInfo() is still required.

Good to know. We would still need the manifest modification given in comment #4
to identify Windows 8.1 though.
