The problem is that the newly available umlautdomains - that is, URLs containing umlauts (those two fullstops that appear above certain letters in the German language) - will not work with Internet Explorer, rather limiting the scope of the new domain names.

Actually, the people in Munich had already gone Linux, spurning M$. Now we have this business of IE's not working with any domain name that has an umlaut in it. Was that just another M$ fux-up in a looooooooooooooong line of coding boo-boo's?

Or is it a deliberate attempt to "punish" those ostreperous Germans for daring to take their business elsewhere?

I don't really know, but I, for one, would not put that past them, given the track record.

It's funny that they had time to block the munichians but they didn't have time to fix the any other IE "errors".
