Microsoft has $10,000 for an Internet Explorer 8 user
Microsoft Australia is running a contest that has prize money of $10,000 (probably Australian Dollars).
They are inviting users to ditch their current browser to download and use Internet Explorer 8.
Interested web users are required to follow @tengrand_IE8 on Twitter for latest clues.
They have to find a specific page that is only viewable in Internet Explorer 8 (!!).
The first web user who finds it wins the prize.
Everything is alright about this campaign except for how they are promoting it.
Non-IE web browser users are sent a sarcastic message mocking their choice of the web browser.
Here are some snapshots:
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
They do not even recognize Opera!
