Since when does my not being able to view Microsoft rich web sites with 
firefox become my problem. I didn't design the site. I didn't get paid 
to design the site. I am not begging people to come visit the site. I'm 
not selling anything on the site. The Microsoft rich web sites that I 
cannot visit are not my problem. It's the problem of the designers and 
developers of the site who can no longer sell me whatever they wanted to 
sell because if I can't view their site I will go elsewhere.
