Your script gave me an error about not being able to make the
Finder Version into a number in 9.2.2; so I modified it slightly.

tell application "Finder"
set whatversion to version
if whatversion as number * 10 then
display dialog "You are running OS X"
else
display dialog "You are running OS 9.2.2 or earlier"
end if
end tell

Please verify that this works for other versions.
