Description

A user reported that the startup command failed due to OS check failue, even though he is running Windows XP - which is a supported OS. The problem is that the startup command does an exact match of the OS env var against "Windows_NT", while in this user's case, the OS env var is "WINNT 5.1".

Maven has a similar problem: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3354

I'd suggest that we remove the OS check code.
