If you visit the site:

"We're sorry. Windows Live Shopping Beta does not yet support Firefox."

"We’re working to correct this as soon as possible."

Sounds like support is coming soon. Is it really a high crime if a beta application doesn't support Firefox. If the initial release still doesn't, then I can understand the complaint, but give them a break.

They wont miss out on that much potential clients - like iMac or iTunes. Does a window user benefit here?
