So MSN Games from Microsoft is a bit fussy who can play their version of the FarmVille game. Typical of Microsoft and their “use our products only” attempt at web domination you can play FarmVille only if you are using the Microsoft browser, Internet Explorer 7 or greater or FireFox? Sorry to all users of the great little lightweight browser produced by Google known as Chrome.
If you are a fan of the Google Chrome browser and attept to load FarmVille on the MSN Games site you will get the following error:
Important Note: Your browser or operating system does not meet the minimum requirements to play on MSN Games. You may be able to download games for offline play; however, the online games can be played only with Internet Explorer version 7 or later, and Windows XP or later.
Appears that Microsoft is attempting to ride on the success of Zynga’s great FarmVille application, but, you must use their browser. Hmmm. maybe the game can only be played using the Microsoft browser? No, join FarmVille via the original FaceBook application and things work fine using the chrome browser.
Shame on you Microsoft, quit the world domination plan and learn to play nice with others.
