Microsoft perfidious - printer-(un)friendly politics

Uncategorized Add comments

Yes, Microsofts web site has some interesting content, such as this article. As I like to print stuff to PDF to read on my PDA, I will usually search all over for a “printer-friendly” link immediately. Alas, while MS pages have one in IE (Internet Explorer),

no such luck in Firefox:

 

nor the weirdo of browsers, Opera:


So, to print the page, simply add “?pf=true” to the end of the URL so http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/prophoto/gps.mspx becomes http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/prophoto/gps.mspx?pf=true
Beat MS at their own game. Hope it helps.
