If you go there with Safari it says "boring Safari", with Firefox: "old Firefox"
"upgrade to IE8"
yeah, "upgrade"

This would actually be kind of clever if you could get it on Mac!
I would guess 99% of folks using Safari would be on Mac, so....

And fuck... isn't IE late to every party out there?
I mean, should they really be flinging shit? You can probably get enough people to line up through two towns to pile a steaming dump on the developers of IE.

I'm sort of embarrassed to admit this, but I ejaculate every time I use google chrome.

I still don't understand how they can compete with the other browsers if they don't make it available for all platforms. People give Apple shit for not making their stuff work on Windows, so they go out of their way to develop it. Microsoft doesn't even try.
- it's far worse IE6 is still alive and that IE8 is lagging way behind in CSS3 & new standarsernexbcn
- and also in javascript speed compared to Chrome, Safari & Firefoxernexbcn
- They should be ashamed to call themselves a software company. They can't even make a single good piece.monospaced
- This isn't really a fare comparison at all when you consider the huge chasm that exists between Apple/Microsoft in terms of market shares.designbot
- in terms of market shares and dominance.designbot
- It's beyond fair, since Apple is making HUGE efforts to take Microsoft's browser base.monospaced
- right, but they have much more incentive to do so since they currently have such a small piece of the pie.designbot
- Trust me not saying they shouldn't, just that the incentive is not as great for Microsoft.designbot

Bribery to get people to use your browser, I like it

Google Chrome:
"Hey Chrome Dome, time to upgrade your browser."

You don't really need IE8 for the contest though...all you have to do is follow them on twitter.
maybe they are trying to get people to use the stupid IE8 twitter plugin thing.

It would be great if a Firefox user found the prize using:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US…once he adds support for ie8
- if you enable develop menu in Safari you can forge the user agent too from iternexbcn

With opera it just says "you'll never find it with that browser"
