| new venture. I know I am using Linux, and there are only 29 Million of us out
| there, but I had hoped that "Cross-browser, cross-platform" may include us. I
| had also hoped that my browser (Firefox) would at least be able to display
| the download page correctly. Clearly it does not include anybody using *nix
| or Apple users who use Safari. What is more, I am unable to find exactly what
| Microsoft defines as "cross-browser",
