To view the detailed system information of your Mac system, you can use the command system_profiler. This is the command line version of viewing the full system information of a Mac. A GUI app named System Profiler can be used instead, which is found in the OS X's Utilities folder.
The command sw_vers is used to display the current Mac OS version. The Mac OS command uname -a is used to display the kernel version, xnu release, CPU architecture, etc. The msinfo32 is a Windows command used to display Windows System Information just like the system_profiler does. The command ms_config is also a Windows command used to view/modify Windows startup settings.
