Many pages completely refuse Firefox saying I'm not using a supported browser. I had a look at your screenshot, then entered our Partner Live ID at the link to have a look in my browser (Firefox on Vista Business) and it's even more broken! I didn't bother to try to fill it out. How can you mess up a simple HTML table?! (I'll leave the question of whether it should even be a table aside) Marc I’ve often thought the Partner Programme’s web effort was poor.

Now having lived in Seattle for 6 or so years I am constantly amazed that although the Microsoft campus is huge and employs so many people there is just no real "tech buzz"to be found. Perhaps it is because I was around in Melbourne and working for a a cool dot com, and traveled to San Francisco many times for dot com. Perhaps it set expectations too high. Seriously though Microsoft needs an evangelist that gets everyone excited. Bill could have been turned in to that. They show a little promise now and then. I think the Seinfeld ads where a cool step. Ads about nothing. Anyway just a rant. Have a nice day! It is amazing Kev.
