You're not going to believe this:- http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/cn/20011025/tc/msn_com_shuts_out_non-microsoft _browsers_1.html What can I say? I've tested it on Mozilla 0.9.5 and I get the following:- [[[ Attention: Web Browser Upgrade Required to View MSN.com If you are seeing this page, we have detected that the browser that you are using will not render MSN.com correctly. [...] ]]] Ugh. I won't comment further until I have my facts sorted out, but comments like the following, if true, just baffle me:- [[[ "All of our development work for the new MSN.com is...W3C standard," said Bob Visse, the director of MSN marketing, referring to the World Wide Web Consortium, which is developing industry standards for Web technologies. "For browsers that we know don't support those standards or that we can't insure will get a great experience for the customer, we do serve up a page that suggests that they upgrade to an IE browser that does support the" standards. ]]] - from the Yahoo article.
