You posted to the HTML/CSS forum, but your question probably should have been made to another, perhaps ASP?
This ASP page loops through and displays all the server variables as a HTML web page. The variable "http_user_agent" tells what compatibility the browser has as well as the OS, I think, and a bit more. Try running it on several computers with different operating systems to see exactly how the variable contents change and which part may fit your needs. This may be what you need, but remember that the data you receive from the computer or browser may be limited. The other side is not an open book to you.
Take a look also at this ASP forum thread which may help isolate the data you want or how you can experiment parsing it yourself: thread333-2480
