If someone is using a differant OS wouldn't MS want their site to be viewable?
Seriously it would just be another way for MS to push their
marketing/propaganda to try and suck up the last %15 of the market that isn't
brain washed and forced into using their products. If someone from Linux is
reading their site, they are going to be turned off by the fact that it looks
like MS can't even do html without breaking everything...
Then again if the user is using Linux they are already "to far gone" for
Microsoft to "help" with their exciting new products!
Still if someone has to admin a MS machine and/or help a freind that is using
the Empires OS and they need to search the KB or grab a patch it really sucks.
