It wasn’t that long ago that I tried visiting Microsoft’s recenlty launched and “buzzed” Live.com website. Supposively it’s to have all of these neat little cutting-edge AJAX functionalities. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get it to work with Apple’s Safari and that doesn’t surprise me.

Despite being one of Apple’s top shareholders, Microsoft rarely considers the Apple platform, it seems, on their initial launches of products. Their Office suite, although it was basically on the Macintosh in the ’80s long before Windows even existed, still finds itself the last to be updated when the Redmond based company upgrades its Office package.

I guess it shouldn’t be much of a surprise to anyone. Microsoft has touted Live.com but it appears that it doesn’t like Firefox either. This may be because Mozilla’s Firefox is gaining significant traction as a web browser to use. I use Firefox when I’m on a PC and often times split my use between Safari and Firefox on my Mac.

I can get Live.com to work with Firefox on my Mac, but it doesn’t seem to work quite as well as it does on the PC.

In any event, if you want to see some really cool AJAX stuff, or need to write a note to your self for any reason, visit netscraps.com ## a buddy of mine developed it
