System.getProperty( X ), where X is os.name, os.arch, os.version

Unfortunately, it's not portable as a lot of us want it to. On the
bright side, this particular issue has something to do with performance
optimization, not with the portability, although I admit it may
influence the very ability to operate under given conditions.
Yes, this is how I'd implement it, and I guess I don't even have to
reinvent the wheel - the concepts of HAL (aka Hardware Abstraction
Layer), microkernel etc. existed for a long time.
And again, in this particular case, the many/one is hopeless, one/one
may be casted into many/many with approximately the same mechanism as
many/many uses at the kernel level. So the resulting performance
degradation wouldn't be so bad.
Or, just get the right OS from the very start, but that's religious.
