One more MS only Web Site in the UK :(
This time it's B-Sky-B (subsidiary to Fox News in the US) that's systematically blocking users of Non Microsoft Os's. I think it's incredible that a company that likes to be taken seriously actually does this sort of thing. I sent them this following letter from their own feedback page. Just hope they read it. Would be nice if some footy mad UKers would do the same.
I'm fu*king pissed

How come Skysports.com results services are now Microsoft Windows compatible only? As a Mac user I can can no longer follow the Football matches on Skysports.com. Also your Audio commentary services are for windows users only. All this is absolutely unnecessary. There are plenty of solutions that perfectly fit for other computer platforms like Mac-Os and UNIX as well as Windows. I hope you'll reconsider your decision to be a 'Windows only' web site. After all, around 10% of computer users prefer non Microsoft Operating Systems

Probably because no games are currently being played. Get in here and click the 'live scores' link. Nothing will happen if you are on a Mac, on a PC a score sheet will appear
I can see a signed pic of Jeff Stelling with "Welcome to the new skysports.com live score centre" etc etc etc

It works with Camino (make sure you haven't blocked pop-ups)

Works fine on Safari here too. Uncheck "block pop ups" and it works fine. I see the scrolling scores without a problem.

Great!! Works fine for me now. The funny thing is that Sky.com is a part of the MSN network and it doesn't work in MS Internet Explorer It's still a bit odd that you have to turn off pop-up blocking. It worked fine with pop-up blocking on until 2 days ago. The Audio Commentary service is still Windows only though
