"Same here, I can log into Hotmail with Netscape 3.04 Gold! Not that it looks too great, but it works. :)"



Had the exact same argument with someone who worked at MS, all he could say was that passport worked with the old Netscape, but not with the new Mozilla/Netscape etc. One way to have killed support on Linux is to force people to use the old nutscrape.



Plus if it seemingly did become popular, who's to tell they wouldn't shut off support with one of those "you must upgrade to a better browser" messages.
