There is no platform independent way to do this, since the the two OS's have 
very different approaches. Under windows you need to get the information from 
the registry, under linux you can get it by reading the files in /proc 
and /sys.

At some point somebody with some time should write a component that can give 
most used hardware information via a single interface with platform specific 
code to retrieve it. It's on my TODO list :)
