Not to say using the OS version number is right in your case, but when I need a parseable OS version number without relying upon Gestalt, I get the ProductVersion key from /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist and parse that into an NSIndexPath, which works great with encapsulating 10.8.5, 10.9, 10.7.5.12, etc.
If there's a need for knowing the build version and doing a similar comparison (not to say this applies for you), you could parse the number, letter, and number from the key ProductBuildVersion into corresponding values and store those in another NSIndexPath. -- Gary L.
