Internet Explorer 6.0 err, I mean Internet Explorer 9 released to public

I'm not really sure why, but after having recently installed Internet Explorer 9 (64-Bit) on my PC, whenever I visit any sites using Microsoft's brand-spanking new browser, the title tag of a visited site is followed by "IE 6.0 (6.00.2900.2180) (Microsoft Internet Explorer)."

Interestingly enough, version 6.00.2900.2180 is Internet Explorer 6 for Windows XP SP2 (I'm running Win7 Pro 64-Bit, for the record).

If anybody else is seeing this behavior on the browser's title bar, fear not. This is definitely not IE 6.0, as evidenced by the fact that the websites that I've visited, so far, actually seem to be rendering properly. In fact, a quick visit to The Acid3 Test returns a 95/100 rating, which is a huge step in the right direction for Internet Explorer.

Now, if only Microsoft could somehow systematically wipe-out all previous versions of Internet Explorer, the world of web-design would be a much better place.
