I currently see the following browser information from a user:

Mozilla/4.0 (  
  compatible;   
  MSIE 8.0;   
  Windows NT 6.1;   
  Trident/4.0;   
  Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ;   
  SLCC2; 
  .NET CLR 2.0.50727; 
  .NET CLR 3.5.30729; 
  .NET CLR 3.0.30729; 
  Media Center PC 6.0; 
  MS-RTC LM 8
)

From the above, it looks like the user is using Internet Explorer 8.0 with MSIE 8.0. Windows NT 6.1 means Windows 7. How is that combination possible? I thought Win7 only supports IE9?

NT 6.1 = Windows 7 and IE8 = Internet Explorer 8 which is the default IE version in Windows 7. IE9 was shipped later.

Go to http://www.useragentstring.com/, enter that useragent string and click the analyze button. It will tell you everything about that useragent string with lots of links to external references.
