Mozilla 1.3.1 and Flash 6 Detection

I’m doing some testing with Mozilla 1.3.1 and Flash 6, which I didn’t have installed for Mozilla. I went to the Macromedia site as prompted by Mozilla and saw this:

Download Time Estimate: 1 minute @ 56K modem
Version: 3,0,10,0
Platform: Windows 3.1
Browser: Internet Explorer, Netscape or Netscape-compatible
File size: 190 K
Date Posted: 5/10/1998
Language: English

Basically, they sniffed my platform incorrectly as Windows 3.1. Ouch. I was prompted to download the Windows 3.1 version of Flash 6. Not good. Any Macromedia people wanna comment on why that might be?
