Is Virtual Hardware version visible to VM?

Just wondering if there is any win registry that reflects what version of VM hadrware 7 you are using?

Does VMware hardware version visible to VM OS or not at all?

Thanks

There is a backdoor command to query the virtual hardware version. Google for "BDOOR_CMD_GETHWVERSION."
