Well you have to hand it to microsoft, they must be getting scared of linux or they don't know that we exist. Either way I was slightly bummed out when I went to the MS office live site and saw that my firefox 2.0 was an unsupported browser. I needed either IE or firefox 2.0 on a windows machine or MAC. http://home.officelive.com/Misc/Comp...pportedBrowser
They definitely know we exist. They also know that the only thing that is keeping most businesses on Windows are their Office apps. If they can work with Linux, they won't sell as many Vistas. They are running out of features that could possibly be put into a word processor or a spreadsheet app. And the OSS community is quickly filling the gap. At some point, the only thing they will have that an OSS solution doesn't is guaranteed ability to open old files with 100% accuracy. They know this, and they are trying to hold onto that for as long as they can.
Works fine here, using FF 2.0 and Linux. If it doesn't work for you try the User Agent Switcher plugin for FF. It bypasses everything I've seen. One major case was: http://www.aamc.org/students/mcat/
I couldn't login cuz it said it only supported Window$ or Mac. Changed my user agent and it worked perfectly. I don't see any reason why they would do this. Are they affiliated with M$ ?
I tried the switcher thing. It's pretty cool. I got through the first page but then I couldn't render the page propertly oh well I like google's doc anyway
