It is not recommend to query against the tables directly, this can lead to table locking issues.
It is recommend that you always query against the views, on top of that I would not use the Installed Software for OS info. I would use the v_GS_OPERATING_SYSTEM for this.
Run the following query against your CM DB with SQL Server Management Studio
select
OS.Caption0,
OS.OSLanguage0,
Count(*)
from
dbo.v_GS_OPERATING_SYSTEM OS
group by
OS.Caption0,
OS.OSLanguage0
Order by
OS.Caption0,
OS.OSLanguage0
