I wanted to check the local wal-mart’s advertised sales – clicking around, I got here
Unfortunately, clicking on “December Advertised Values” gets me a page saying I’m not using a supported “computer configuration” (both from Firefox 1.5.0.9 and MSIE 7.0)

- doing an explicit OS check seems dumb – hopefully they’re not doing that, but it’s certainly possible given the platforms Firefox runs on.
- hopefully they’re not checking specifically for IE 5 or 6 (there are published best practices)
- I’m curious exactly what the “Microsoft Windows web site” is going to tell me in terms of how to upgrade from Vista to 98, 2000, ME, or XP.
- Yes, Vista isn’t widely available yet. However, a *ton* of sites have managed to update just fine for Vista and IE 7. Anybody serious enough to be using Akamai (edgesuite.net in the URL) should know better.
- While the “User Agent String Utility” exists for IE 7, I was surprised that Firefox didn’t have easier User-Agent modification. Yes, I know about Opera
