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!
