Better way to get osversion?

[William Stacey]

Is there a better way to get a double (or other) for os version then this?
I want to get os version early in program,
then do checks like: if ( osVersion < 5.2 ) //do something. TIA

int major = Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major;
int minor = Environment.OSVersion.Version.Minor;
try
{
double dver = Double.Parse(major.ToString() + "." + minor.ToString());
return dver;
}
catch
{
//Do something;
}

You could just use the Version as is:

For example:

Version targetVersion = new Version(5, 2);
Version osVersion = Environment.OSVersion.Version;

if ( osVersion < targetVersion ) {
}

Note this will be more precise and can take into account builds and revion
numbers as well.
