Wonder how much further they extend the length of their standard browser UA's?

"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648)"

It's not just them. I hope this isn't turning into some sort of competition...

"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; User-agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; http://bs alsa.com) ; User-agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; http://bs alsa.com) ( Embedded Web Browser from: http://bs alsa.com/); .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)"

A good effort, but it'll be even longer when they add the .NET 3.0.04506.648 update!

Should be interesting... After a few more of these cumulative-UA-string .NET updates, MSIE will start tripping the "Request too long" filters on servers, and getting 400-Bad Request responses. Let's hope they figure out a better and more concise method before then...
