Details

On Win98 (4.10.1998) User-Agent is reported to be Mozilla/5.0 [en] (Win95; I) On FreeBSD 4-CURRENT (bleeding edge that is) User-Agent is reported as Mozilla/5.0 [en] (Unix; I) The Win98 case is clearly wrong, but I think that even on an alpha-level FreeBSD system you can report the system type accurately (uname -sr can). I'll look into the FreeBSD case myself if I can find some time.

I suppose what we should be doing is reporting Windows 4.1 as Windows 98, right?

The User-Agent value is set at compile time, based on some XP_OS macros. This appears to be a duplicate of #806. Marking it as such and I will follow-up there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 806 ***

Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for Browser. Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do this in a bulk change. If this happens, I will fix. ;-)
Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.
