Looks like we have to buy a package of Microsoft Visual Studio as a backend tools for some reporting package we’re going to install.

Strange enough that when you google for “Visual Studio”, the first result (and only meaningful result on the first page) links to a page titled “Visual Studio 2005 Developer Center”. Anyway, try to click on “Bezugsquellen” (Distributors) on that page, and then on “Buy & Ship”. What do you get? An empty page. Old story, you say, your fault for accessing a Microsoft page with Safari; probably some ActiveX control that you cannot see.

Who needs a body, anyway?

Nope. Apparently the directory a MS resellers in Europe is very short, so short that the MS webserver is dishing out a completely empty HTML document, completely omitting the body element. But who needs a body, anyway? On the other hand, correct cache control is a first step. (And before you ask, no, the refesh doesn’t load anything more useful.)

Bravo, MS. Makes it easier for me to explain why I’m using Apache.
