LOL - that site says it all. Not in content, but in form: using
Firefox on my Mac, that site looks like hell with text colors in the
header all wrong, columns out of alignment, fonts at awkward sizes.
It looks like Microsoft is now designing their site to work only with
Microsoft Internet Exploder. Their historic obsession with trying to
hijack open standards is eating away at their own effectiveness.
Good luck, Mr. Gates. 80% of the market, and falling....
Actually it looked all right to me using windows firefox, but I was
quite amused that the link to vista home actually served the page about
ultimate. Hee hee. Multiuser multitasking industrial strength now with
added human failings.
I call it Exploder too, fancy that, <irony>what a surprising
coincidence</irony>. In fact I love to rename application shortcuts, I
think it promotes mental health if done irreverently enough. For
instance I was actually looking at the Microsoft site with Fireofax not
firefox, and I'm composing this email in the Thunderbox email client. I
edit my images in TofuShop, and do my Windows screen-captures using Snog-It.
