Selenium Grid: Capabilities and Platform.WINDOWS7?

Question

I'm using Selenium 2.9.0. When configuring a WebDriver grid node is there a way to specify that the node is capable of running a browser on Windows 7 rather than say Vista? So for example:

{
  "capabilities":
      [
        {
          "browserName": "internet explorer",
          "maxInstances": 2,
      "platform": "WINDOWS7"
        }
      ],
    "configuration":
       // rest 
}

When I try this configuration the Hub reports

HTTP ERROR: 500
No enum const class org.openqa.selenium.Platform.WINDOWS7

Is there a way to distinguish between the two operating systems on the Grid?

Machine 1-"HUB"

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2.jar -role hub

machine 2-"NODE"

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2.jar -host **nodeip** -role node -hub http://**hubip**:4444/grid/register -port 5555

replace hubip as your hub machine ip address and nodeip as remote machine.

There is no enum WINDOWS7 in class org.openqa.selenium.Platform (as of Selenium 2.15). I am running test on XP, VISTA and WINDOWS7, so I designated enum value WINDOWS to WINDOWS7.

If you run Selenium Grid node with for example following attributes:

-role node  -browser browserName=firefox,version=8,platform=WINDOWS

you can distinguish between XP, VISTA and WINDOWS7

but you won't know what you get right? and if you try to get your caps from the RWD they are wrong either... that's a serious problem I think – Franz Ebner Jul 19 '12 at 07:08
