Their mail stated </p> <p><cite><br /> This is your invitation to participate in Xcerion's XIOS/3 Beta program. You are one of the first in the world to get access to XIOS/3.<br /> We currently only support IE6+ browsers. We are working on adding Firefox support (high priority).<br /> </cite></p> <p>Obviously didn't sign up ..<br /> In April when I got the invite mail for the 4th time .. I replied to the Xcerion folks .. </p> <p><cite><br /> As I am a Linux user .. I need firefox , since your initial mail<br /> december 21st last year you say that Firefoxx support is high<br /> priority ...<br /> </cite></p> <p>Their reply: </p> <p><cite><br /> We have made some great progress on the Firefox version. This is the most<br /> complex and fully featured cloud OS available, which makes porting more time<br /> consuming. We are also constantly adding a lot of features. Xcerion is also<br /> considering doing a native Linux version :)</cite></p> <p>Today I got yet another mail from them guess what still isn't supported ? </p> <p><cite><br /> We currently support IE6+ browsers. Rest assured that we are working on adding Firefox support (high priority). The Firefox support will also enable usage of icloud on Mac and Linux</cite></p> <p>It's time to give up guys .. you lost the battle.</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/672#comments beta fucked company obsolete vapourware xcerion Tue, 03 Jun 2008 18:06:44 +0000 Kris Buytaert 672 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
