it looks like (could no test so far) the sysprop "os.name" is buggy on various jre.

"os.version" seems reliable on the other hand. Win2000 will return "5",  XP returns "5.1", Vista "6" and Win7 "6.1". A complete list is here: http://lopica.sourceforge.net/os.html

> The current implementation fakes a Win7 browser string only (user agent) and therefore reports all Windows Versions as being Win7. Different Windows Versions should be reported correctly, indivually.
