Opera 9.5: More compatible with Windows Live Hotmail than Firefox 3, Safari 3.1, or Internet Explorer 8!

, , , ...

After writing my previous post, I realized: why only test Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5? Windows Live Hotmail is a pretty friggin' important site, so it should work everywhere!

So, I decided to test Hotmail's full "AJAX" version in the newest available versions of all 4 major browsers.

Opera 9.50 Final:
Full version
Opera 9.50 supports the full version of Windows Live Hotmail without any problems, thanks to Opera's innovative browser.js site patching.


Safari 3.1.1 Final:
Redirected to classic version
Safari is not supported by Windows Live Hotmail's full version. At least the classic version works.


Firefox 3.0 RC3:
Error, redirected to classic version
Although Firefox is a supported browser for Hotmail, the latest version doesn't seem to work. Again, at least the classic version still works.


Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1:
Classic version unusable!
Sometimes, I wonder if the folks who work for Microsoft actually use their own browser...

"It pays to upgrade your browser
We've added some great new features to Gmail. To check them out, please upgrade your browser to either Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or Internet Explorer 7 (with Google Toolbar)."

Mozilla Firefox? Not an upgrade.
IE7? DEFINITELY not an upgrade.

How about this: I keep using my browser, and you upgrade to support it :-)
