[Sheflug] browser lockin.

[David Holden <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

   Just tried to access halifax "if" banking site, and its stopped 
working with mozilla, I ring them up and I get the pat "we prefer people 
to use IE".

Egg recently introduced a service which only works with IE, you go to 
this services site and it tells you you need to "upgrade" your browser, 
interesting use of the word "upgrade" I use mozilla 1.1 which blows IE 
out of the water.

Any one have views on this, orgs to complain to etc. any way to make 
these people aware there's a world outsite M$



  dave.
