Ok just went to check out Microsofts www.Live.com after reading about it.

I do a search.....

Then I go down the page clicking the mouse wheel on the links I wanted to open in a new tab.
But then hang on... Nothing opened up... where's my dam tabs I just opened ?

I have not come accross a link that I couldn't open in a new tab by pressing the mouse wheel. Without looking at the page code I am guessing that good old microsoft has put in code to stop firefox users from opening tabs easily.

(you can still right click and select open in new tab)

Perhaps I am wrong about this....

But if not shame on Microsoft once again... If they try this crap when they launch their new search engine which they claim we be far better than google they can shove it up their !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok was just reading about Live.com and all these new products Microsoft is now releasing... (in Beta many like google)

I wanted to see their "Microsoft Gadgets" like "yahoo widgets" So I go to Live.com hoping to find a link. Nope.
So I do a search. "Microsoft Gadgets" and what do I get ?

NOTHING !!!!!!!!! no search results being displayed.... try again, hit refresh and still nothing but a loading box.......


So I guess it is now back to Google to look up a Microsoft product.... !


Note: tried www.MicrosoftGadgets.com first and found it..... But that doesnt change how sucky Live.com is....

LOL that was a good one...

I had a quick look but nothing interested me.. Then, I maybe wrong, but i got the idea that the gadgets are for your .Live home page not the desk top...
pfft
