Microsoft is a running a similar contest http://www.microsoft.com/australia/ie8/competition/

"You'll never find it using tarnished Chrome". Another pathetic marketing idea, one that really only Microsoft would think of.

That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.

Does microsoft need to houseclean THAT bad?

Really?

Does that really say "it's not as stupid as it sounds" on the bottom, there? hah!

Yeah, I misinterpreted that too. The subject they are intending is the idea of telling your friends, not the entire contest. If only they were that self-deprecating...

I always use Firefox, but today I went to the contest site with IE8 on Vista. The message said, "But you'll never find it using Windows Internet Explorer 7". MS couldn't even detect their own "best ever" browser. Very sad.

Changing the user agent in Firefox lets you view that page in IE8 mode. I wonder if the clue pages will do that to?

Curious: that link worked when you posted it. Now it's dead.
