Okay, I personally usualy use some combinations of cgi.user_agent, which do count on the cgi.user_agent string being correct, and not faked, like u can do in most browsers either through a plugin or nativly. So for instanct <cfif cgi.user_agent contains 'mac' and not cgi.user_agent contains 'win'> means your probably on a mac, etc.
It would be cool if there is some kind of api to contact a user_agent database (I believe there are several online, and free) which then return more usable variables, like IsMac or IsIE.
