basically HOW TO: Incompatibility Hotmail Live, Office Live, .. Ubuntu + Firefox (Updated)




Problem Like many Ubuntu users have noticed, whenever we try to access any of the services Live! Microsoft from Firefox with Ubuntu, we find ourselves with messages like:

OFFICE LIVE (
http://www.officelive.com
):





Hotmail (http://www.hotmail.com

):




At that time the alarms are activated and owners think ... Will it be Microsoft may have used proprietary technology is done for their websites, thus leaving aside the linux users?

The answer, in particular if, and partly not. To use "Office Live" to complete if you need to install certain programs (plugins) only for Windows, without which the use of Office Live is limited to reading documents. As the initial excitement of not having to use Windows or Office through Wine, to edit word documents, excel, etc. .. was dispelled very quickly. And also as annotation to the reader, we all know that OpenOffice can read Word documents, Excel, etc. .. but most of the time the documents are not 100% adapted faithful to the original For
as "Office Live"
encandaloso is the most I've ever seen since opening
original documents in Microsoft's new Web site, these are shown
worse than OpenOffice. Reviews

apart to get to see documents and / or view our Hotmail, we need a preliminary step, fool
portals Office Live Hotmail and making them think we navigate in Firefox (but from Windows).




I will ignore the issue of how sad it is for a company like Microsoft to systematically block Linux users, simply by using that operating system, as fully functional portals are simply changing the user agent



The Solution To navigate as if we were using the Windows operating system (any version is worth us) we use a simple tool called
UserAgentSwitcher
with which we do believe the browser in a matter of seconds we are sailing with different operating systems and browsers, with a gesture as simple as you see in the image.


By default this tool comes with the options Internet Explorer 7, Netscape 4.8, Opera 9.25 (Windows Vista), but the most interesting for us is Firefox for Windows, because we want to Hotmail, continue to charge its interface to the browser Mozilla, but skip the tiresome message and making sure maximum compatibility with your browser like in Windows.


install the firefox extension available here

. Open

extension options and click on "User Agents -> Import" (You can make a backup of existing clicking Export ")

Now you only have to import the following xml file:
Firefox_Win32_UserAgent


finished! should already be in your list of user agents, the version: "Firefox (Windows XP)"

Now you can enter your Hotmail and Office Live, activeis previously provided with the UserAgentSwitcher, version of "Firefox (Windows XP)."

Enjoy.



Correction:


from Redmond seem to have become aware of the magnitude and significant market share they can gain by offering this version of Office Live for all platforms, announcing that
end of this year will be available for Windows, Linux and Mac
(The ability to manage Office documents on any platform ensures that Linux users will rely less and less the operating system from Redmond, is great news for the Linux world)
