I recently bought a new Dell laptop with Windows XP pre-installed. My old laptop ran Linux, but I was determined to give Windows one last try.

The laptop came with a trial version of McAfee software, which ran largely uneventfully but is due to end very soon. So, since it appeared to be pretty trouble free, I thought I'd buy the full version. But their ecommerce site, shop-window to the world, only supports newer versions of Internet Explorer - no Firefox, Mozilla, Safari, Konqueror, Opera, or Netscape. In fact they would only allow 22% of visitors to this site to buy from them. They lost my order, and I guess 78% of you reading this won't be buying either.
