ObjectName.getProperty("os.name") failed to return OS Name

Source code as follows:

/* <applet code=OSVersion height=100, width=300>
 * </applet>
 */

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.Properties;

public class OSVersion extends Applet {
  //Construct fonts
  Font f1 = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 14);

  public void init() {
  //resize the applet
    resize(250,50);
  }

  public void paint (Graphics g) {
    //Display the modhelpdesk background color in Applet
    Dimension myAppletDim = getSize();
    g.setColor(Color.magenta);
    g.fillRect(0,0,myAppletDim.width, myAppletDim.width);

    //Display the OS Name and Version
    Properties myProperties = System.getProperties();
    g.setFont(f1);
    g.setColor(Color.white);
    g.drawString("Operating System: " + myProperties.getProperty("os.name"), 10,20);
    g.drawString("OS Version: " + myProperties.getProperty("os.version"), 10, 35);
  }

}

The applet loads and doesn't display the OS Name or OS version.
