Don't plan on installing the CD

I'm quite surprised someone actually would want to because its very unnecessary.

Guess what that means!!

They used FrontPage 2000 to build their site! Good to know our cable dollars are going towards building the best website out there! *sarcasm*

Wow...

Well I guess I still am glad I have a full install of IE 5 sitting on the server still!

Comcast would probably never come here so this might be just a commodity. Although if anyone needs IE 5 please let me know. I have it archived and could upload to a place to allow you to download.

I even have IE6 archived as well.

Sounds like Comcast is using @Home's business plan. What a wise decision....

We are your one stop shop on the internet and EVERYONE is welcome ............ That is as long as you run Windows and Internet Explorer. Mac and other browsers need not apply.

Nothing like trying to accommodate a wide audience, eh?

Just another reason to dump Comcast........They've been in bed with Microsoft for years, ever since MS invest a BILLION $$$ in to Comcast.

Never Noticed

I use firefox without problems on comcasts portal. I even use a linux box without issues. I do not spend a lot of time on the site, but checked emails, looked at a video clip or two, never any issues with firefox 1.5 or 2.x.

Ridiculous

Comcast.net fully supports Firefox. As a matter of fact, a message at the top even asks you if you want to add the Comcast Toolbar to your Firefox browser. Not sure what this "news" is talking about.

Key word in this article is Slashdot.

Here... this is why FF no workie - the error is because of javascript!
Love how that was not stated in the article...

EDIT: HELLO! Comcast Play Games is "Powered by Oberon Media"!

Who wants that shit on their computer anyways?

It's great to see "Oberon Media" has finally optimized IE 5.5 for Comcast Play Games. What a frickin technological leap back wards.

But, hey, Give 'em a few centuries and they may realize the potential of IE 6.0 and optimize that version of IE as well.

Edit for clarity

I agree completely. I have run nothing but Firefox on my PC for a few years and have encountered no problems. I have never tried those games because who would want that garbage on their machine. It's funny how the media always wants to badmouth Comcast, but the media darling Verizon comes out looking great even when Verizon just got cited in the Pittsburgh area for using illegal immigrants and unregistered vehicles by their contractors. Once verizon starts offering television more widespread other than the wealthy areas of cities than more people will find out how inept much of their service is as well.

Re: Wow...

No need for that. You can go right back to IE 1.0 in the evolt browser archive: »browsers.evolt.org/

I've really got to try that some time (on a virtual machine of course), just to see how it handles todays websites .

Re: Don't plan on installing the CD

Worse yet, it is full of spyware. New users beware, and do not allow the installer to touch your PC!
