Maybe. But not in Java. Have a look at the System.getPoperties() docs for a list of things you can get from the OS/VM.

I'd say you have to write a native library that tabs into the Windows API - if a portion for getting info like that is actually open to applications.

Read about JNI and next write some C code to get info about hardware devices: http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/jni.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q259695
