Have I missed something with XP?

Perhaps it's actually opera or ff with the UA string reset... people do odd things.

This is a real guess, but could it be connected with Desktop search and/or Lookout?

I've seen it too. Same ip. Professional bot, eh?

Kinda an aside. My host server has recently changed the way they represent visitors in my access_log files from straight IP Numbers, to this: colo-69-31-80-250.pilosoft.com
Does 'colo' indicate colocation services?
If so, what is colocation? Something on the bad side, eh?

I would think colo in that string means colocation. You might do an arin lookup of the i.p. To me the bad thing would be that the requestor is likely a server and not a surfer and that the page is probably now cached to be used as adwords bait...hopefully at least text homogenized and not to be displayed as was cached.
