Screenshot oddity

Look at the screen shot, what kind of computer do you think it is?
------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel. Dalek Dave
And, more to the point, what does is say in the screenshot?
Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

Is it my imagination, or is the system check also reporting a failure: "This site requires IE 6.0 or above"?
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

Yup, that was one of the things I was getting at. The WTFs are:
- Using a Mac
- Using Firefox
- Clearly showing text saying "Go away, this site doesn't work"
- Posting this on the site, and not seeing anything wrong with it
I presume they outsourced the page to a Mac shop, and specified that "a screenshot of this particular URL must be included, with lots of web2.0y shadows and reflections", but nobody bothered actually checking that the screenshot wasn't stupid!

Single core AMD Athlon running Windows XP + Windows Blinds. What?
Agh! Reality! My Archnemesis![^]

Where it seems there are only borderlines, Where others turn and sigh, You shall rise!

So it's official - Micro$oft marketing people know nothing about their products. In a way, that's reassuring - a marketeer who knew what his product actual did would be a frightening prospect! A bit like an estate agent with a double helix, or a taxman with a soul...

| FoldWithUs! | sighist | µLaunch - program launcher for server core and hyper-v server.However useless and foolish this idea is.... it still doesn't look the same. For starters, notice the location of the control box buttons (minimize, maximize, close)...

Someone at MS must be reading the CP lounge. They changed the screenshot.
