I E 6 Question

by really_clueless Feb 13, 2006 11:02PM PST

I am currently running I E 6 and I was reading this forum where one can check IP address and IE browser, to I just did it for the hell of it. This is what it said for the browser I am using: I am using IE 6 and according to this it says, Mozilla? Why is ths so, just curious, is there something I don't know??

User_Agent
Variable: Contents: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0)

Very stange indeed.
