Ugh, Microsoft. Why can’t you just admit that Firefox has you beat at the moment, and leave people alone about their personal browser choice?
From beta.msn.toolbar.com when viewed with Firefox:
Warning! Your browser does not meet the minimum system requirements. You are recommended to use the MSN Toolbar Suite with Internet Explorer 5.01 or later.
I’m not saying that you should give up the fight - I’d love to see a good browser come out of Redmond - but right now you are asking your users to use an inferior, less secure browser. I can’t trust you when you do that. Integrating desktop search into my browser is not a big deal to me, when I can put a search box on my taskbar with any of the major desktop search vendors.
Just lay off the IE pressure. Internet Explorer sucks right now, plain and simple. Yes, even the SP2 version. Here are the three strikes against IE:
I’m sure you’re working on it, and eventually it will be better, but right now it just sucks. And I don’t recommend that anyone use it.
