static boolean isWindows7() method in ij.IJ.java?

[Bill Mohler]

I have found a way in which Windows7 handles command line calls to
"netuse" differently than do previous Windows versions (including Vista,
I believe).  I would love to have my macro detect if a user is running 7
rather than something earlier, so I can modify my command line to the OS
specifically in each case.  Would it be possible to add a static boolean
isWindows7() method in ij.IJ.java?  I see that isVista() currently
accepts Windows7 for true, but I think that will break my functionality
with any users still running Vista.

Many thanks,
Bill

What does

        print(call("java.lang.System.getProperty", "os.version"));

show? If it starts with "7.", you could use the startsWith() function to
test for Windows 7 (according to a quick web search, Windows Vista
returns something starting with "6.").

Sounds like a good solution.  I'll give it a try...
