It was, I think I recall a furor over this page or another set of pages in
the UK that were done up by Microsoft. The text on the page claiming that
you can't access it with other OSes or older browsers for "maximum security"
is a load of hooey. 

If you take a look at the page from a Linux system, you're getting a glimpse
of the future if .NET is successful. 

BTW - they're obviously detecting OS or something, b/c I tried using 
Opera which sends headers claiming it's Exploder 5.0 but I still get the 
"unsupported browser" thing. 

Bastards.
