Wal Mart does the same thing with its music store online.
Only can use IE and you have to download a Wal mart plugin!

[...] supports only IE. I guess they don’t realize the negative press they are going to get over this straight out of the 90s maneuver. Maybe they haven’t realized that the majority of people who would download from them also use [...]

it works for me. obviously they said “currently unavailable” because they had to go hire some real coders. then they had to learn how to weed out the micro$oft fanboys in their interview process. it’s understandable that this took a while.

I visited Walmart Video Downloads with both IE6 and FireFox 1.5 and it works fine in both browsers. They must have fixed the problem.

Techies are a small fraction of their business. To most big companies IE is supported, everything else is secondary. This includes the biggest institutions, banks etc. Thats just reality.

Mom and Pop could care less about the Wc3, standards, open source and all that stuff.
