Krishnakant,
Look at this real situation.
Absolutely! It pops up a big message stating that "this" browser is not supported. That shocked me!
On one hand we are facing terrorism from companies like Microsoft which will play all these dirty games and to help them the other side is our government where such currupted pimps are sitting to spoil all the educational system by denying even the basic freedom of choosing a software as small as a web browser.
The ability of Microsoft to be pervasive has rather been easy due to less number of people being actually aware of the other side of the "Micro-soft" world. ;) Essentially, we are still catching up with the ability to market and advertise to the extent they can. More so, developers of such software / webapps essentially need to realize (irrespective of the closed source / open source) that it has to run for people on computers they use and not for "my-tested-software/computer".
But as a community it is difficult for us to come up and say to the 'developers' of this product ... "Look boss, I have this CLICK-TO-RUN product which would run perfectly on any OS / browser and that it is more sturdy, comparatively less susceptible to failure and can handle volumes of requests." When we have something of that sort, which can be marketed such a way, all that would be needed is individuals who can directly talk to MKCL!
