Re: ASP.NET and IIS

["Mark Allen" <scprideandms@xxxxxxxxx>]

IIS= Idiotic Information Server.....

Could be worse Coca Colas new My Rewards site as of last week ONLY runs in
IE7!!!!

believe me I tried many verions of Opera, Netscape, Firefox and IE because a
friend of ours was unable to get to.  Since its a COMPLETE flash site I told
him I'd try at work and see if it was just his dial up connection speed, lo
and behold NO..  No error messages nothing in ANYTHING just sat there about
50% complete with the "L o a d i n g" message UNTIL I used IE7 and it workdd
fine.  Did the same at home (over dial up) and same results.  Tried 5
different computers and NO go in anything but IE7.

IMEO ANYONE who would put any even semi-critical mission app on ANYTHING MS
is just asking for trouble.........
