Here's some sample UAs for IE 11:

Windows 8.1 x64 desktop:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko

Windows 8.1 x64 metro:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko

Windows Phone 8.1 x64 (emulator, my device is in other room):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows Phone 8.1; ARM; Trident/7.0; Touch; rv:11.0; IEMobile/11.0; Microsoft; Virtual) like Gecko

Basically we want to detect the 'Trident' tag and find the 'rv:11.0' to extract the version.

Note that the DeviceDetection.php code from this bug report is outdated as we don't have that check anymore and mobileness check stll works properly as IE mobile 11's UAs still contain the word 'mobile'.

if I read correctly position: fixed check is still not covered.

Actually I guess we should get rid of any home made scripts here and turn to use jquery.client.
