To whom this may concern, The fact that the site, http://program.intel.com/mp/admin/c_dynamic.asp?FILE=businessadvantage/index1.htm FORCES a user to use Micro$oft i.e. 5 is disgusting. I cannot think of any reason(s) why, Intel Corporation would not allow a user to use Netscape to get into the portal site. The same applies to the online training for the Intel Certification downloads. Our company, Freedom Technologies Corporation, only builds Intel Inside and (not currently allowed by your gov't) Intel Outside Servers. By that I mean we only sell/promote Intel Chassis, Intel serverboards, Intel Pentium III Processors (no celerons). We only put on the servers sold, the OS called FreeBSD, which Micro$oft uses to run HotMail.com and Yahoo! uses for its more than 1000+ web servers. I kindly ask on behalf of the Unix community, that your corporation ceases from forcing the use of Micro$oft products to get into some sites (the portal for example).
