I have an IE8 which produces this user agent string:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; 
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; SLCC1; .NET 
CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729)

So, this will also be seen as IE6?

IIRC Steffen Kamper is working on an updated version of 
t3lib_utility_Client::getBrowserInfo() which should be able to correctly 
detect the most used browsers; including the strange version numbering 
of IE...
