| Excuse me? I don’t want to use Opendoor Virus Extreme - sorry, Outlook
| Express, I want to use Windows Live Hotmail, Full version, under Mozilla
| Firefox 2, on any machine and/or OS I have installed! I thought I was being
| clear, I’m using a BROWSER to access a WEBMAIL INTERFACE that seems to be
| ARTIFICIALLY LIMITED IN FUNCTIONALITY due to BASIC USER AGENT SNIFFING.
|
| And here, the answer:
| Hotmail staff :
|
| Please make sure that your screen resolution is set to 1024 x 768 or higher
| to be able to view the full version of Windows Live Hotmail. To do this,
| please follow these steps: [steps for Windows XP/Vista]
|
| I guess you’re saying the same thing I did when I read that.
|
| …
|
| Yes, speechless.
