Could someone tell me what the latest Applescript code is to get the current operating system?

I was looking into that recently, but couldn't find the script. Perhaps didn't save it.
A quick check of version commands gives me ...

system attribute "sysv" --> returns a hex value
system version of (system info) --> "." delimited system version
tell application "Finder" to product version --> "", should be system version
tell application "Finder" to version --> "." delimited version of Finder

Currently, I'm still using this ...

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"."}
(text items of (system version of (system info)) & {"0", "0", "0"})
1000000 * (item 1 of the result) + 1000 * (item 2 of the result) + (item 3 of the result)
if (the result < 10007000) then
error "This version requires Lion."
end if
