Last week Microsoft announced the beta of Windows Live Shopping. Right now, when Firefox users attempt to load the page they are greeted with a message saying:

“We’re sorry. Windows Live Shopping Beta does not yet support Firefox.

We’re working to correct this as soon as possible.”

This was not the original message however. Almost True News was able to take a screenshot of the original message which can be seen below (click to enlarge). It is not clear if this was an official Microsoft message or if it was some employees idea of a joke.

There is a rumor floating around that it was actually what the page said during development and that it was supposed to be changed upon public release (which was done, just a few hours late).

No matter what the real reason for the original message is, it’s yet another nail in the coffin for Microsoft’s PR.
