    I like how it only works with IE

    or atleast don't work with my firefox, also the page has javascript checking to see if the browser is IE lol.

    whats the go there ?
    are they only allowing it to load for IE or is it just my firefox ?

    It works fine for me in Firefox, v. 1.07.

    However, I have to laugh at this, because Microsoft is working on a competitor product, Sparkle:

    I guess since Sparkle (or rather, Expression suite) isn't finished, they had to fall back on what will be the better technology anyway! ;) It reminds me of the time Microsoft.com's DNS was under attack from some DOS/virus, and they had to switch their DNS to Linux. lol

    Works for me on Safari / OS X 10.4 so I suspect Microsoft is just sniffing for you Matt :)
