        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        The JDK1.6.0 System.getProperty("os.name") doesn't get Windows 8's os.name correct. It should get "Windows 8" instead of "Windows NT (unknown)".

        Run the following code in Windows 8 Consumer Preview:

        public class SystemPropertyTest {

        public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.name"));
        }

        }

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        System.getProperty("os.name") should return "Windows 8".
        ACTUAL -
        System.getProperty("os.name") returns "Windows NT (unknown)".

        REPRODUCIBILITY :
        This bug can be reproduced always.
