Weird value of System.getProperty("os.name")
Im trying to get the System.getProperty("os.name") of my own Windows 7 machine. I am running a java application directly from the machine from within Eclipse.
The returned value is "windows vista"!
Seems wrong, very wrong. And yes I am sure that I am running the app on a windows 7 machine...
Any idea as to what is going on here?

This is a known bug: Bug ID 6819886. It mentions that it's been fixed in among others Java 7(b55) and Java 6u14(b04). So upgrading to the latest should resolve the issue.
