ASP.NET ships with a range of browser definition files. ASP.NET fails to recognize new browsers like IE 10. This causes controls that rely on Javascript to be rendered incorrectly in IE 10. This post describes the problem in detail and provides solutions.

It seems very irresponsible to use hard-coded browser version numbers rather than feature detection.
I would make the recommendation to anyone developing websites to use feature detection, rather than relying on the browser vendor or version. The only few exceptions would be for specific cases where a feature is supported, but perhaps doesn't work well (certain animations in FF and IE aren't as smooth as in Chrome, for instance).
