Where did you look? Right-click My Computer and get Properties. It should give you the precise edition.
Start -> Run -> winver.exe from within Windows or click on the Summary tab in the vSphere client to see what you selected (but not necessarily what is installed)
If you're looking for a programmatic way to do it, you can use PowerShell and WMI to get the same string as in My Computer -> Properties...
powershell -command "$str = (gwmi win32_operatingsystem).name; $str -like '*R2*'"
(True if R2, false if not R2)
