It’s a pretty old video, and it has garnered some 230,000 views since its publication in November 2009, but we hadn’t seen it yet and perhaps neither have you.
Try not to grin while watching this demo video on the Office Live Workspace website.
Looks like the person demoing how to add multiple documents to your workspace is keen on using Mozilla Firefox (around the 0:25 mark) to showcase how to download Silverlight, Microsoft also competing in the browser space be damned.
And no, we’re not slamming Microsoft over this – it’s not a big deal. Consider it an amusing interlude to my day and hopefully, yours.
Besides, why wouldn’t Microsoft simply be showing us that Silverlight works with Firefox, too?
