Here's what I get when I click on the first search return, as I did above:


Code:
HTTP/1.1 302 Redirect
Content-Length: 0
Connection: close
Location: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.speedtest.net%2F&ei=j_6-UsTXCsnxoATbwoGIBQ&usg=AFQjCNHr6YyAkpiq37Q1AYAxF9ZW18CZrw&complete=0


Curiously, while most sites are reporting

Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0)

A few seem to detect the real user-agent,

Code:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml, */*
Accept-Language: en-US
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Host: microsoft.com

In fact, if you just type "user-agent" in DuckDuckGo, it'll retrieve your true OS and UA.

Here's some reading on how IE11 UA differs from prior browsers...I thought this might be of help (or not). Not that I thought you needed it...this is just one of the sites that popped up when I googled "user-agent."
