It's handy from time to time - especially if I want to use the 'premium' OWA client on the Air. What has frustrated me recently is that my employers provide a web-based VPN thingie to access the corporate intranet and applications via your home PC. Which I used a few days ago for the first time. Seems someone looks at the logs and blocks OSX, though, as I get a warning about needing Windows, with some kind of anti-virus and firewall now - it seems to run a javascript check too see if you have it. The systems actually worked perfectly with Safari, so I don't understand why they don't like OSX. -- SteveH

There's a few sites like that around, I don't know why they have to actively block any particular system or browser. Why not just provide a warning that everything may not work properly, and let us decide whether to bother with it or not. I've often changed the browser ID (using the Debug menu), and found they usually work OK if you force a false ID for Safari. -- Andy Hewitt <http://web.me.com/andrewhewitt1/>

Tried that, and also tried a fresh install of IE6 using Darwine. Still doesn't work, as the javascript seems to be able to check for firewalls and anti-virus. Not a big issue - but the system would have saved me plugging in my company laptop - I have to use Powerline as I haven't been on the course to teach me about WPA - and until I do that I can't have WiFi activated. -- SteveH |
