Once again, MSN proves to be a site catering only to internet explorer users. The new Beta MSN breaks both of my favorite browsers: Opera and Firefox. It’s definitely not a pretty sight.

Lo and behold, the layout looks fine in IE:
You gotta give it to Microsoft for building a crippled browser, and then building its pages to only display correctly on their crippled browser.

It’s just unprofessional. As if Microsoft had any goodwill left to squander, I hope that if they don’t fix it that it will backfire.
