+Sorry, I hit submit by accident :(
+As I was saying:
+
+ switch(System.Environment.OSVersion) {
+    case System.PlatformID.Unix:
+       // read /proc/uptime, for example
+       break;
+    case System.PlatformID.Win32NT:
+       //Access a performance counter for up time
+       break;
+    default:
+       throw new NotSupportedException("Not implemented in this 
+system");
+       break;
+   }
+
+Actual Results:
+
+a NullReferenceException is throwed
+
+Expected Results:
+
+To get a valid value from the System.PlatformID Enumeration
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always. The null value is hardoded in 
+mcs/class/corlib/System/Environment.cs
+
+Additional Information:
+
+I'd correct it myself, but I am just learning how to use PInvoke or 
+the internal calls, and how to determine which code should I run 
+depending on the platform (funny, you need to know which platform 
+you're running on to be able to know wich platform you're running on)
