User agent virus

A comment on /. in response to their poll "The Browser I use Most Often...":

you know, it's just occured to me that some enterprising virus coder could actually do the world a favour by writing a virus that causes IE running under Windows to chane it's agent string to Mozilla, Konqueror, Safari, Netscape, Omniweb etc randomly. This virus wouldn't - strictly speaking - break IE, but it would fuck up all those idiotic sites that simply refuse access to non-IE identified browsers. Hopefully, the ensuing chaos would be enough to stop this hateful practice for good and it might bring sites arounf to using W3C standards for their site compatibility rather than MSIE.

The single most entertaining thought I have read in a while!

FYI, Mozilla has 55% of the vote followed by IE with 28%.
