6819886: System.getProperty("os.name") reports Vista on Windows 7 Webrev at: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alanb/6819886/webrev.00/ The CR synopsis says it all. A separate CR (6820180) has been created to track updating HotSpot's os::print_os_info (this is used when emitting the system information to the fatal error log). Thanks, Alan.
