Any company producing a product for Linux/Unix which feels that it has to use a Microsoft product for its web site is one which cannot eat its own dogfood. If they have any "ingenuity" or "quality" of any kind one would think that they would use it themselves. And it is not a matter of a font which I don't like; actually I do like the Arial font, but it is NOT a Unix font.
