| Just reading the FAQ for the MSN adcenter:
|
| Microsoft adCenter is a Web-based program that can be used on
| any computer. You will need to make sure you have the following:
|
| o A working Internet connection.
| o Microsoft Windows 98 or later operating system installed.
| o Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later Web browser installed.
|
| and
|
| C. Which browsers work with Microsoft adCenter?
|
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Microsoft adCenter is
| currently incompatible with Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 7 (beta)
| browsers. As Microsoft adCenter becomes compatible with additional
| browsers, we will update this site.

I read this blog regularly. Well worth syndicating. Not anti-Windows, but...
Best wishes,
