I love it when a great company like Google designs a product, and for a specific reason. They design it with the end user in mind. Microsoft has a half way approach. They try to balance the end users needs with making money. I know that they are in business to make money, but too often they sacrifice functionality that the end user wants so that they can make more money. Google and Firefox make plenty of $$$ giving stuff away. Mozilla made 66.8 million last year giving away firefox. Microsoft should improve on Google Docs, then find away to creatively give it away and make cash at the same time. my 2 cents. Personally I am a Firefox and Google fan.

I use microsoft exchange for emails (it allows me to access to my emails on the web)... If I use it with IE (6 or more) I can have all the functionalities (create folders, open my attached files etc...) If I use Firefox I have a different unfriendly display and few fonctionalities...

So at least in part what you're saying is confirmed. Neither OS shows the cursor in the browser. I don't care so much about the cursor showing, but I do care about being able to type in the body field. Otherwise, what's the point? A friend of mine tells me he has the same problem -- intermittently -- with Hotmail so I don't think this is an isolated issue. And it's not a small problem if you can't type in the body area, it's a big issue. Guy - that’s weird, I couldn’t type anything this morning on our Vista machine but here on XP using Firefox I can.
