Single statement is enough for getting OS name in Java. So simple.

}

System.getProperty("os.name"): This method is used for getting the value of specified property in Java. The os.name property means the name of the OS.

My OS is Windows 8 Release Preview, it does not properly detect it. Works for other operating systems.
