Comment(by brianwhite):

 I am not sure that this can wait given the coming release of Windows 7
 next month.  After I upgraded from windows Vista to Windows 7 I discovered
 that my user agent was too long.  Further investigation revealed that many
 installations of Internet Explorer on computers that have been in use for
 a period of time and have multiple versions of the .NET CLR, etc.
 installed have user agent strings which exceed 255 when the Windows 7
 specific strings were added after the upgrade.  (The user agent sting is
 shorter and not problematical in fresh installations of Windows 7.)  The
 likely hood of this happening becomes even greater with the introduction
 of tools like the Google Chrome Frame which add to the user agent string.
