On Windows XP, in jnlp file, when using <resources os="Windows XP DDD"> or <resources os="Windows DDD">, the application should not be launch. But the application launched. Notice, this can not reproduce on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Find a Windows XP machine
2) Open the following applet:

Comments
EVALUATION the previous analysis ignored the following line in the specification: "For the os, arch, and locale attributes several keys can be specified separated with spaces. A space that is part of a key must be preceded with a backslash (\). For example, Windows\ 95 Windows\ 98 specifies the two keys Windows 95 and Windows 98. " as a result "Windows Banana" Should match any of the following OS's: Windows XP Windows 7 WIndows Vista Banana OS whereas "Windows\ Banana" should match none of the above.
