Jaja, you're right :).

What is better?� Having SmalltalkImage or OSPlatform hardcoded there?� If we decide the right answer is SmalltalkImage, then we should change the deprecation in SmalltalkImage which currently is:

platformName
��� "Return the name of the platform we're running on"

��� self deprecated: 'Use OSPlatform'.
��� ^ OSPlatform platformName

And maybe it's better as

platformName
��� "Return the name of the platform we're running on"

��� self deprecated: 'Use OSPlatform'.
��� ^ self os platformName

Cheers!

Why not

self class environment platformName

Because it doesn't work? ;)

The class environment is the SystemDictionary instance containing classes and globals, not the SmalltalkImage instance,
(Smalltalk is now a shortcut for the sole SmalltalkImage instance), where you find access to OSPlatform through the #os delegation method.
SmalltalkImage platformName is deprecated in 1.2, the cross-dialect way to do it is through using Smalltalk os platformName.
