The sinister part is when they *intentionally* make it look crappy if you come to the site with a different browser, even if that browser is perfectly capable of viewing the site exactly as IE can view it. People will think their browser is f00ked up and some will finally give in and use IE, the others will set their browser to masquerade as IE if possible. Now we show 100% of the browsers are IE for use in marketing bull shit, etc. I would consider that sinister.

Ok I totally agree, but this is nothing new.
I mean, how many f**ked up sites are there out there specifically designed for IE and nothing else?
And what about M$gaminig sites which you can't access unless using IE?

Don't get me wrong, I find this evil myself but I was beginning to think I missed something on that page   ;)

Doctor V:
All too true.  Intentionally making sites look bad on anything but their own propriatary browser is Hitlerism.  M$ = Nazi.  What if they do end up controlling the internet (the US gov. seems to want them to), then what, what will they move to next?
