Microsoft gave the press an MSN Search screenshot – using Firefox, but 
denies that it had done so

Oddly enough, Microsoft is promoting Mozilla Firefox. The company 
recently provided the press with a screenshot of MSN Search displayed on 
the open source browser. Microsoft's PR firm denied using Firefox for 
any of MSN Search's screenshots
Alert reader Dror Levin read a review of the new MSN Search on the 
Seattle Post Intelligencer. He noticed something strange about the 
screenshot in the article, found a larger version of it and was 
surprised to find out that while the OS was Windows XP, the browser used 
was Firefox.

The photo credit says "(AP Photo/HO/Microsoft)", which menas it was 
distributed to AP by Microsoft.

Brian Peterson, of Microsoft's PR firm Waggener Edstrom, said: "None of 
our approved/distributed screen shots of MSN Search were made using a 
Mozilla Firefox browser. Moving forward, we will not be commenting on 
this issue".

Recently, MSN.com's Tech and Gadgets section's "Today in Downloads" 
recommended software was Firefox. But that may not have been done by 
design, as the software recommendations originate in CNET's 
Download.com. Microsoft declined to comment on this.
