I'd like to add on slash comment on Pettinface's post.
Well, first of all, obviously since I'm not a Mac user, the ability for web sites to work with OSX isn't really important to me. But, in all honesty, I think it's a much bigger issue that it doesn't work with Firefox, as it is one of the biggest up and coming browsers.
Overall, yes, it was a bad decision to make it available to only IE, but I think that they'll change it soon enough. It's Walmart for Christ's sake. Regardless, if you, for some reason, will only support one browser on your site, of course IE is the choice. Probably not for much longer, since IE 7 sucks hard, but as of right now, it is the cream cheese on the bagel of internet browsing. I'm using it right now because I'm in class and this computer doesn't have Firefox on it. I should probably start paying attention, though, since the teacher is lecturing. Peace out nyuckas.

A Collective WTF
Recently Walmart began operation of their new movie download website, and gave us all one more reason to not go to Walmart's website. In a genius move by the Walmart web development team, they chose to have it only work on IE. Notice I said "chose." After doing some research and looking at some script and CSS, it's obvious that the site was designed to only work with IE. Even if it did work with other browsers, they use a Windows only DMG preventing the hundreds of thousands of people who use alternative browsers (OSX) from accessing this media. I can imagine iTunes is loving this. Way to go Walmart, you effectively eliminated yourself from the competition before you even got started. As far as I'm concerned, Walmart, you need to get with the program and at the least support multiple browsers, you're retarded for not doing so in the first place.
