I’ve tried several times in the past couple days since the release of Chrome to access the Hotmail website with no success.

I don’t understand; is the MSN/Hotmail website is written so strictly that they have to catalog ever web browser? Basically, they must look at the PC and the browser and determine which rendering engine or layout they have to use, and as they can’t figure it out, they just don’t allow you to get in.

Hey Chrome?! This is my house!

In this day and age this is just bad programming. There web standards, there’s HTML, Javascript, Perl, ASP, AJAX and PHP… and just because there’s a new browser in the wild you block them…

This is exactly what close minded people do. They operate in their own private world and things aren’t in your range of understanding, you block it.

When you [Microsoft] can’t create a browser that’s web compliant this must be the crap you have to put up with all the time. With the release of IE8 this may change, but to offer two modes [std and IE] to render pages, somethings wrong.

I think is right along the same lines as the recommendation to NOT use ActiveX, but you have to use it on the Microsoft website.

For example, an ActiveX control that runs automatically when you load a particular Web page might damage your data or cause your computer to become infected with a virus. Internet Explorer uses safety levels for active content to help prevent this situation from occurring.

For a company to be the beacon of technology and be so proprietary is detrimental to the whole effort.
