Like this? (based on thread here[^])

C#

if(Request.UserAgent.IndexOf("Windows NT 5.1") > 0)
{
//xp
}
else if (Request.UserAgent.IndexOf("Windows NT 6.0") > 0)
{
//VISTA
}
else if (Request.UserAgent.IndexOf("Windows NT 6.1") > 0)
{
//7
}
else if (Request.UserAgent.IndexOf("Windows NT 6.3") > 0)
{
//8.1
}

Plus, I am curious why would you do that. Why should it matter which operating system are you using for a web application?

we create a website where we can download few pdf files. This download will not be supported in the MAC operating system. Thus we want to display a warning message in the download only if the operating system not windows. In order to do this we need to acquire the environment operating system.
