“From the discussion to my post, many of you brought up other
instances of Linux discrimination. (Note to purists: I say Linux,
but I am often using it as a term of convenience and including all
things open source. Admittedly, I’m being squishy.) Here are just a
few of the miscreants mentioned, who either clearly stated they
don’t support Linux or any browser other than Internet Explorer;
whose services can be used, but not necessarily initiated by any
other than a Windows system; or who are just generally difficult to
get along with:

* Citibank
* AT&T
* Illinois government sites
* Verizon DSL
* EarthLink DSL
* Juno/NetZero
* Juniper Networks
* UPS CampusShip
* Department of Defense systems (U.S.)”
