User Agent String Utility gives IE7 access

Some web sites don't respond well to Internet Explorer 7. That's usually because they have hard-coded various browser versions into their web page code and have not updated it to add IE7 to the list.

So though many (most?) web sites have updated their code or never hard-coded the browser versions to start with, some present challenges. On the other hand, I have not run into any public web pages with this problem yet.

As a temporary workaround (until those sites fix their code), you can use Microsoft's special User Agent String Utility to let IE7 access sites that currently block it.
