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.
