It's not just MicroB - lots of browsers (IE6 for example), don't work with me.com.

(If SirAlien's incomplete URLs are confusing you try www.me.com in MicroB and you'll see the message he's getting.)

Your irritation would be better directed at Apple's increasingly MS-style 'closed box' antics than at a developer community that, in many cases, works completely for free.

I'm an Apple fan with a .mac email account and I like several aspects of me.com but the company's growing tendency to force users onto specific platforms or lock them into Apple-only services is becoming irritating enough that I'll shift to Linux when I have some time to transition all my stuff.

After all, it's this sort of closed-box garbage ('hey guys! Let's force people onto specific browsers and make sure there's a huge Safari link when we do so! Genius!!') that made me ditch Windows five years ago.

Alternatively, you could take the advice given here and change your browser's agent thingy (I'm no techie but there are instructions here).
