Microsoft schemes on Firefox Users to get them to Switch

- Microsoft really wants you to upgrade to Internet Explorer (IE) 8 especially you Firefox users out there. On a recent add that targets Firefox users Microsoft claims to have hidden 10 Grand somewhere online within their IE 8 browser upgrade.

According to the flyer above Microsoft wants you to upgrade and then follow along their Twitter site and pick up on clues to where the prize money is hidden. You can not participate in the contest unless you are using the new IE 8 because it is the only browser capable of viewing the clues. It may seem like a shady marketing plot to pull in users and convert the yet to be unconverted, but it worked on me. The race is on you guys to find the loot so who’s coming with me?
