Dear M$:

First, I want to certify that this machine is fully up-to-date with every patches you deployed through Windows Update. In addition, I know my IE7 is fully updated too.

I googled for something that is located at your site. I clicked on the relevant link and guess what the page redirected me to beta Live QnA site ... http://qna.live.com/BrowserCompat.aspx

This site tells me that my (YOUR LATEST) browser does not work with this website and to please use one of these supported browsers:

Internet Explorer 6 or 7
Firefox 2.0

So my question is: What's wrong with you? You are not the M$ I knew. You are losing touch with reality!

Thank you for reading this.

What are you talking about? Are you serious? This is news to me! You gotta be kidding :-)

Edit: Are we NYers being punished for what our Governor did in a Washington D.C. hotel (it's all over CNN Bulletin News right now)?

Hey, don't feel bad I live in a suburb of Detroit. The Detroit Mayor is in deep s**t right now. Affair wasn't the only problem. Lying about it in court and lying to the counsil who agreed to pay 9Mil to cops that got fired for investigating the Mayor. So there.

Well, I don't believe what I'm reading. That American bolitical affairs (Internal), can dictate what pages may and/or may not be viewed?

I'm not sorry for the typo.

Hey XP, I just tried that site and while I didn't register for it, it does appear to work for me. I am still using IE6.

Worked for me on IE6.

Maybe you can find a site where you can ask about trouble logging into some sites with IE.

Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-night drive, we are the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen.

Lo & Behold It's now working for me too but this does not excuse Redmond from messing with our cherished toys. What would you be doing if you were prohibited by Court order from going near a computer anywhere within a 25 feet radius?

Those who were blocked by court order would have to earn their way back by going back to school and taking Remedial English. ;)
