At www.hotmail.com, if one clicks on the 'Forgot password?' link, they are
greeted with the following message from Big Brother:

---Copied and pasted text follows---
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.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Hotmail.com
2.Click on 'Forgot password?' on the right of the page


Actual Results:  Greeted with unfriendly message telling me Microsoft doesn't
like my browser.

Expected Results:  Heh heh, send false info claiming to be Internet Explorer
