In the your mozilla\defaults\pref directory open the all.js file for editing and add this line:
pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
I added it below the:
pref("general.useragent.misc", "rv:0.9.5"); line
You can view the msn.com/.ca pages but the rendering is a little off.(It's not that I actually use the msn sites but they pissed me off so I had to get them working).

I had the same problem today with msn.ca using mozilla. It worked fine yesterday. After logging out of hotmail, and reading an email from the hotmail staff telling of the wonders and joys of upgrading to Windows XP (which I promptly deleted) I was forwarded to msn.ca and received this error message.

This has to be one the most aggressive tactics I have seen used by Microsoft. I don't want to use an MS browser, and by sniffing my browser they are not allowing me to see certain sites. Not that I ever use msc.ca/.com but it still angers me that they are being allowed to do this. Come on US DoJ, get your act together and stop these criminals.
Here in Canada they also use this device on first time offenders. A first time offence gets you a one year suspension. However, if you agree to have one of these devices installed in your vehicle, you can start driving again after 3 months.
This is almost a contradiction in terms. Processor speed and benchmarks are often held closely together in marketing materials.
The most common piece of marketing have seen from Intel recently consists of Three Blue Morons jumping around on my TV screen and hitting a big number 4 with sticks.
