MSN

[Tim Schmidt]

I just tried Mozilla again, and it still doesn't work.  The register's 
(www.theregister.co.uk) stats seem to suggest that no linux browsers can 
view MSN, and several browsers for Windows (Mozilla, Opera) can't.  I wonder 
if the word 'Linux' is keyed in on or if it's just everything but 'IE'  
Anyone want to find out?

See if a browser listed as IE, but running on Linux can see the site...  
Also, see if a non-IE browser that works on Windows (?) will work if listed 
as being run on Linux.  I'd do it, but I don't have a browser loaded that 
allows for the modification of identification strings.
