Check OS system?

[Simma]

Is there a way to check what operating system is used? I have found $.os, which kind of works, but it will give me a long name like "Microsoft Windows Vista Servicepack etc. I'm looking for something that can simply say if the os is Windows or MacOS. I guess I could split the string and check the first letters, but it feels like there would be a simple command. Anyone?

Something like this should work:

var isWindows = $.os.indexOf("Windows") != -1;
