Yes - I downloaded it the other day - and it builds (by default) sending
the IE 5.0 string!!

Maybe if every free browser did that, we could eradicate the stupidity of
allowing the web site to be tailored in such a way as to be incompatible
with non IE browsers.

If there was no way to tell which browser was running, then web site
designers would be forced to do things properly.
