Microsoft is throwing it's hat in the ring, or rather their shoe, in a strange decision they are bringing Microsoft Office online, now that in itself is a great idea because it would shake up some competition between Google and Microsoft (always good for us) but (and a huge BUT) and i quote:

Quote"Microsoft said users of its new service can only create or edit online documents if they have Office software already installed on their machines"

Read the baffling rest at The Register:

ROFL it seems that MSIE is blocking that site ;) <-- half-joking: it comes up with the weirdest error in IE but in Firefox it loads fine... What is Microsoft trying to prevent its loyal customers from learning? ;)

Well, I would think it would be the Register that is being blocked by your IE, not M$'s stuff.  Must be an early morning there DD? :P

I had a look, most of the articles for the last few days don't load (and get the same error as Darren reported) in IE6, including ones that have nothing to do with Microsoft.  I think there's just some JavaScript or something in the generic article header that's not working in IE6.
Prayin' for a 20!

Yeah but I noticed the "half-joking" part which I thought meant partial seriousness :P
