Look at the ManagementClass class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.management.managementclass.aspx

var mgmt = new ManagementClass("Win32_OperatingSystem");
foreach (ManagementObject mgmtObj in mgmt.GetInstances())
{                
    // Just get first value.
    return mgmtObj[info.Information].ToString().Trim();
}
