Try that again :) As Gary points out Google Frame can sit inside IE - of virtually any current flavour.
So we settled on focussing, when we needed to know the browser in advance, on Chrome. Which is sort of a shame because Firefox is excellent especially from a developer's point of view, and may be starting to lead in font rendering with Jonathan Kew's recent contributions. But we believe to have all our intranet stuff is rolled out to meet Chrome's expectations at present. Some IE 6 reporting figures are form applications that by default 'factory setting' identify themselves as IE 6, they allow an administrator or User to choose how the application will show itself, but few people seem to choose to actually make a new setting it seems. Downloaders both unattended and user started and some other applications for movie and sound aquisition ;) do this kind of thing too. Chinese abundant reporting of IE6 et al has been pointed out to suggest previous methods and lack of restrictions on how software might be acquired in China previously ;) I was in Villa, Vanuatu visiting with the Red Cross there once and was introduced in a Duty Free shop (should have perhaps been called an 'ethics free shop') to a pack for $50 USD which identified itself as being from mainland China which had every piece of modern software and drawing/audio/visual producing software then current ex-USA (including Delphi etc!). I was fascinated at the lengths the pirates had gone to, and could only detect a few obvious visual flaws in the re-production of it all. The shop owner himself appeared and was equally fascinated in my not wanting to buy it all even if he knocked a few more vatus off it! So when things identify themselves as IE6 it can be so in some big corporations, but the country code says more to me now-a-days.
