Weblog Expert Lite doesn't correctly detect IE when running in 'Compatibility Mode'?
When running analysis on our intranet logs the 'IE Versions' report shows 99% IE7. But the 'Operating Systems' report shows 40% of visitors using Win7.
Since IE8 is the minimum possible version on Win7 it seems that the detection method is incorrect.
Of course the problem is due to the setting 'Display intranet sites in Compatibility View' being enabled by default, and thus IE sending 'MSIE 7.0' in the UA string.
However, it is possible to correctly determine the actual version by checking for the presence of 'Trident/4.0' (IE8) or 'Trident/5.0' (IE9) in the User Agent string. You can then show the percentage of actual versions running in 'Compatibility View'.
Is this something that is detected and reported correctly in non-Lite versions of Weblog Expert?
