Another lost customer

Message to B&O management: Tell your customers what they should do to read your brochures and you might be in for a surprise. Especially if you are too ignorant to produce a usable web site. Why don't you just put it in a PowerPoint file?

Who cares? Their stuff's outragously expensive anyway....

I really don't care much about B&O's web site. However, I do care about the new generation of internet related hardware - like the 3Com DSL router I had here recently - which requires IE to access the management interface. Needless to say that web based management is the only management interface the product offers. What's so special about a management interface that it requires a specific browser?

Yes, I couldn't agree more.

(That's quite different from B&O choosing to cut themselves off from their potential customers, who will probably not bother to look at the site if their browser isn't MS IE! Commercial stupidity deserves to be rewarded.)
