How to detect Operating System with JavaScript (without deprecated window.navigator)

Question

Detecting the operating system of a visitor used to be easy with the navigator.platform solution. However, this solution is now deprecated, so my question, quite simply, is there another way to retrieve the OS using JavaScript?

I have looked around the web and everything seems to point towards the navigator object, but as you can see from the following link, this has been deprecated...
