RE: [PLUG] interesting experiment


 this is precisely what i had feared. during the msn debacle i simply
changed the browser ID in konqueror and was granted access, no problem.
shouldn't this be an issue that is raised to the industry trade rags? i
think i'll send a message to mr. cringely.

it is a known fact that M$ has been tweaking all of their pages to look
worse 
in NON IE browsers.  What is even more scarry is this is not a concous 
effort.  This is actually done automagicly by the latest M$ Frontpage.
So 
not only will any MS site display poorly but ALL pages made my Frontpage
will 
look worse in non IE browsers.

Welcome the the happy new world of .NET everyone.
