<< Microsoft is working to fix a technical glitch that blocked a number of browsers made by rival software makers from accessing the MSN.com portal throughout Thursday. >>
<< The company says the problem occurs when using a browser that does not support Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, a standard set by the World Wide Web Consortium. Even users of Microsoft's own Internet Explorer need version 4.0 or later to reach MSN.com at this time, the representative says. >>
A glitch? Yeah, right!

EDIT: Opera's response:
<< The irony of Microsoft's claim to standards-support is complete when you check the MSN.com site for compliance with the XHTML standard. Anyone can go to the W3C's standards validation service at http://validator.w3.org/ and type in www.msn.com. The document returned demonstrates clearly that not a single document on their site adheres to W3C specifications, and many of their documents do not use XHTML at all, e.g. http://careers.msn.com/. >>
