Right now we use zero server side code. IMHO that is a good thing, it greatly reduces the resources required to serve a page regardless of what platform we are on (e.g. Google App Engine bills for both bandwidth and CPU). Javascript can work perfectly well for OS detection, it is simply a question of "write once, debug everywhere", unless any javascript guru can contradict this?
