Where did you look? Right-click My Computer and get Properties. It should give you the precise edition.

Click start then run and type WINVER and hit enter. It will tell you if it is R2.

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)
