I don't use any microsoft products in the running of my business

Ubuntu - open office - Centos

So why on earth would I use the completely flawed Microsoft Live search?

The famous fish-bicycle comment springs to mind.

Carry on digging the hole Mr. Microsoft, soon you'll be able to lie in it... and be buried.

I've honestly lost count of how many times I've seen this website not load properly.

The most common bug I see all the time (5+ times a week, at least), the right box "Top INQ Stories", which is an iframe (ew) doesn't load properly, the text is unstyled and when this happens clicking links in the iframe do not target the entire page, meaning the resultant article loads within the iframe.

Not to mention how ridiculously ugly this site is. I don't hate the INQ, really, but it is an example of a very, very bad website.

And thanks for the offer on a sales course, however I think if there was a way to get the INQ's attention, it would be to cuss them out, I mean, isn't that all they do? ;-)

(I've been tempted to do a mock-up for months, maybe I will now..)

I'm sure you meant FF 3.0 and not IE 3.0 :))
Anyway it made the day for some zealots ;) (see first post)...

Always pulling nasty tricks on people.
Grow up Redmond people!
Somebody should split this company up into several parts and control them.
Or simply force Windows into OpenSauce, they earned quite enough and do not need to act like little children all the time.

Feel free to contact me for a quote if you want to attend a sales course....

To Jai:
What do you mean? The website displays news and is updated, what could you possibly need more from a news website?

LOL!!!!

theinquirer.net works with all the 4 browsers I have... Firefox, IE, Opera and chrome.

If it doesn't work with firefox, then I won't be using it....

No great loss...

Who are you to whine about this not working when your own website barely works.

But hey, feel free to contact me for a quote if you want a real website.

"There's white space and no feedback on IE 3.0"
Whoa, you guys really go to new heights to mock Microsoft! Testing on an prehistoric browser is clearly below the belt.
Ok, I know that's a typo. By the way, the "awkward" address syntax is the standard syntax in Brazil. It just matches the "developed by/to Brazil and then adapted" theory.
This syntax is handy because, at least here in Brazil, there are some numbered streets and squares, so you can separate it correctly. Google Maps understands it gracefully.
