Bug ID: 57572 Summary: Wine IEXPLORE shows incorrect Windows version in UA String Product: Wine-gecko Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: wine-gecko-unknown Assignee: jacek@codeweavers.com Reporter: bammgabriana@gmail.com Distribution: ---
When opening Whatismybrowser.com in Wine explore, it says I a running "Internet Explorer 7 on Windows 8"
The UA String confirms this:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; Trident/7.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)
The string "Windows NT 6.2" is equivalent to Win8.
I'm running it in a default Wine prefix which is set to Windows 10 by default.
Since this seems to be hardcoded (not actually detected), I suggest a simple cosmetic change to change of the UA String to say "Windows NT 10.0", which is what shows up when a browser is run under Win10.
Earlier versions of Windows 10 actually did still have Internet Explorer, so it is not an impossible situation.
