This new web based interface (maybe three days)of the M/S newsgroups really
sucks when using firefox,some posts are unreadable (fonts don't display
correctly)
Makes one wonder if it wasn't done on purpose since FF is starting to take
market share away from IE.Ya I already know that outlook makes for a better
newsgroup reader (So please don't go there)but the web interface suits my
purpose and I have no trouble finding posts that I want.The constant pushing
to use outlook for a newsreader just seems like a club or some type of
fraternity one must join to fit in and I really hate clubs.
Yes, I notified MS Support about this I'll wait to see what happens.
Just my 2 and a half cents worth.

For the best Microsoft newsgroup eXPerience, use Microsoft Internet Explorer
and not some third-party browser.

You have to laugh at people that still want to believe everything is a
conspiracy about MS out to get their competitors. As a beta tester of many
products, I can tell you that MS goes out of its way not to break
competitor's products.

Anyone old enough to remember "The code ain't done until Lotus won't run!"?
