Change IE7 user-agent to IE6 in vista (blogs.technet.com)

Ok, so I have a question about this: wouldn't all IE7 bugs still appear, the page is still being rendered by the IE7 engine, the User-agent isn't related to the engine.

The blog writer proposes this as a way to view IE6 only pages in IE7, I'd suppose that this is almost an entirely incorrect method to go about this; the rendering engine for scripts and HTML/CSS is not affected by the user-agent, just what is actually served to the client.
