Description

[Rick Hayes]

Upon submitting the username and password I recieve an error stating that
lc3.law5.hotmail.passport.com could not be found.  Please check name and try
again.  Orginal URL (http://www.hotmail.com) was redirected to
http://lc3.law5.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/login.  When you click on the link
Problems signing in? I was sent to
http://lc3.law5.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/dasp/hminfo_shell.asp?_lang=EN&content=problems&id=2&fs=1&cb=_lang%3dEN&ct=1004986882
Which was a total was of time and energy, so I clicked on the "If you still
cannot find the answer you're looking for, please contact the Passport team."
and then recieved another error:

Browser Not Supported

Unfortunately, Microsoft® .NET Passport does not support the Web browsing
software you are using. Please use supported browsing software such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later, or Netscape Navigator versions 4.08-4.82.

If you use Netscape Navigator 6.1: due to possible data security issues, you
cannot currently access .NET Passport using Netscape Navigator 6.1. We take
security seriously and are working with Netscape to resolve these issues as soon
as possible so that .NET Passport can support Netscape Navigator 6.1. Until that
time, please use supported browsing software. We apologize for this
inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

That would be Microsoft's way of saying "Screw you, we'll make you to use IE".
