What means "Mozilla/5.0", "rv:1.0.2" ?

Mozilla/5.0 is just the start of the useragent... basically all browsers start with Mozilla/ (for compatibility reasons... MSIE originally copied that from Netscape)


1.0.2 means the build is created from the 1.0 branch of mozilla at time of the 1.0.2 release.

Some one please correct me if I'm wrong but..

Windows NT 5.0 should be Windows XP,

No, Windows 2000. XP is 5.1 I believe.


the 20021120 is the build date 20/11/2002,

less ambiguous would be Nov. 20, 2002


Mozilla 'cause NS7 is based on Mozilla...any one with info on the bits I've missed please let me know.

No, that reasoning is wrong. Netscape (the old one) was internally codenamed Mozilla, and sent Mozilla/x.y in its useragent string. When MSIE arrived, it sent Mozilla/4.0 (not quite sure about the version), because that's the string browser detectors expected.


Mozilla and Netscape just continued using Mozilla/x.y.
