        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            OperatingSystem os = Environment.OSVersion;

            Console.WriteLine(os.VersionString);
            Console.WriteLine(os.Platform);
            Console.WriteLine(os.Version);
            Console.WriteLine(os.ToString());

            Console.WriteLine("\nPress any key to end");
