“Windows Live is designed for you, but maybe not for your browser.”

Windows Live is designed for you, but maybe not for your browser. This was what I saw on my screen when I opened Windows Live Calendar with Google Chrome.  The alert advises me to use either Internet Explorer 6 or higher, Safari 3 or higher, or Firefox 2 or higher, in this order.

Questions arising are:

  • Where are Opera and Chrome?
  • Why are the browsers sorted in this order?
  • Why does the alert call using a different browser “upgrading to” them?
  • Does Calendar participate in the European Union browser war?

The fun with the alert is, when I click the link “continue without upgrade,” everything works just fine.
So what?
