   I would try user agent switcher first thing, but who knows, maybe it doesn't work. In any case, there's no way I'm signing up for twitter, so forget about it.

   Nah, I think more efficient way would be to bribe some editors of tech sites to write VERY positive reviews of IE8. Still, I don't think that's efficient enough :P

   LOL I opened the page using Google Chrome and it said "You'll never find it using tarnished Chrome!"

   But I guess now that they're actually donating meals for every IE download (yeah, 8 meals per download to the Feeding America network), this isn't too far up their alley.

   The ongoing EU fiasco will just strengthen their resolve to follow through with this kind of marketing campaign.

   I respect the balls that Microsoft is showing in the face of all these antitrust lawsuits, and I could use an extra $10K, so I'm game.

   Is this going on in the EU by any chance?

   This may be more of a "kiss our a**es" than anything else.

    Well.. I'm all for winning $10,000 like the next guy... but c'mon guys, there's only so many times that I'll stick up for you with this kind of shit tactic. We get it, you want to win the browser war... now develop an actual dominant browser.
