Signing Into Passport for the Microsoft Support Site?

Maybe it’s just been a while since I’ve been to the Microsoft support site, but since when do you have to sign into passport to view articles?  Steps to reproduce:

  • Google “Serialize to xml c#”.
  • Click this link (should be the 3rd one down).
  • Get prompted to sign in to passport.

Actually, just browsing to http://support.microsoft.com prompts me to sign into passport from Firefox…making the same request from IE takes me straight to the support site, no sign in necessary…I can then simply type in the article number (815813) and I’m directed to the correct article.  Am I missing something here?  Very annoying.

It's Microsoft's way of saying, "To hell with you and your Firefox."

Well, isn't this special. It doesn't do it in IE for me either, but it sure does in Firefox. Bastards!
