Given that the original poster didn't mention their OS, is using 
Outlook, and that ~90% of the desktop market uses Windows, it's 
reasonable to assume Windows unless otherwise specified. Also consider 
that users of less popular OSes are used to specifying their OS, whereas 
Windows users usually don't, so this alone can be reasonably assumed to 
be Windows more often than not

Not only that, but assuming Windows will generate less list-noise than 
asking every time. If you assume and get it right 90%+ of the time, only 
10% fire back a "but I use 'x' OS" reply. If you ask every time, then 
you get it right 0% of the time and 100% need another round-trip.
