Netscape 7.2

As usual, it has probably been online just a few hours and people were waiting for it...

All of these can be faked user-agent strings. And at least two of these are fakes for sure.

Netscape 7 was never available for OS/2, so the first UA-string in this blogpost is rather a fake (I don't think AOL would do it).

Also, there was no Netscape 7.1 es-ES, so I don't think they would make an es-ES version of 7.2, so the third one also doesn't look real.

but there are 7.2 Netscape builds out there, i saw one from a person (his host), who would to 99,9999% never fake a UA.

mcsmurf: If so, where can I get one? Or at least a screenshot. :)

HRHR... JAMANN... mcsmurf \o/

I hope there will also be translations.

Who sport a new(ish) UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; de-AT; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040618 Netscape/7.2. I'm apparantly not the only one. I guess we shall be seeing it soon. I'm curious what's bundled with it, and if there are any Netscape...

@marcoos: no screenshots for now, just wait until 7.2 is out :) (i also won't name the person who uses it, but why not just use Google ;-)

@ZeroMC: *grr* just come into irc... ;-)
Translations, i think there will be some

Sorry, but
Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; de-AT; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040618 Netscape/7.2
is a fake.
I've faked my UA-String from Linux to OS/2 because OS/2 isn't used that much, so I can easily detect my own page views on the sites I maintain.
Because some sites require a Netscape in the UA-string to display properly, I have added the name Netscape to the UA-String. And because of the rumours about a Netscape 7.2 release based on Mozilla 1.7 I decided - when upgrading from 1.6 to 1.7 - to switch the Netscape version from 7.1 to 7.2
(I don't think, there will be a official OS/2 Version of Netscape. The German locale of Netscape 7.1 is btw de-DE. de-AT is Mozilla German.)

Sorry, maybe the other user agents are true, but the UA of OS/2 is a fake.

Give Netscape 7.2 some time to come out. I think that everyone would want a stable, working release instead of something like NS6+.0...

I want to purchase the Netscape 7.2 CD and Guidebook when they become available. I would like to preorder them by sending you a check for its cost plus S&H. How much will it be and to whom should I send my check? I like the version 7.1 that I am using but I look forward to receiving the version 7.2.
