    It's probably just that the screenshots have been falsely credited as being supplied by MS.

    Microsoft's spokesperson: "None of our approved/distributed screen shots of MSN Search were made using a Mozilla Firefox browser"
    Lets spread lies and get excited about nothing.

    Microsoft did not deny that it was Firefox in the screenshot. Their carefully crafted response was, "None of our approved/distributed screen shots of MSN Search were made using a Mozilla Firefox browser", which, we can be sure, is true.
    Who cares anyway. It's just a good laugh. I'm not going to spend any of my time trying to wipe egg off of Billy Gates' face.

    Actually, I have been in Teleconference with them, and saw Firefox, Google Search Bar, and AOL being used - however my opinion is that to stay ahead, they need to keep their eyes close on the competition.

    If I was writing a web page for public use, I would test it in all major browsers (IE, Netscape, Mozilla, Firfox, Konquerer, etc..). As a company, I am sure the same would be true.

    Most likely MS was trying to verfiy compatability in major browsers and had screen shots in multiple browsers.
