The MSN homepage received an interesting makeover with the launch of the new MSN search. It’s a big step toward Web Standards. Not that the homepage validates or anything but it’s a step in the right direction.
My enthusiasm was quickly tempered when I pointed my Firefox browser towards the Advertising Link on the search results screen. A good old “Please Upgrade Your Browser” message appeared. So in order for me to spend my advertising dollars with MSN, I need to meet a technology requirement. That would be like Shell only accepting Fords in their gas stations. It’s ridiculous.
At least call it “Please downgrade your browser” because the suggested browsers aren’t exactly an upgrade.
