Was it just me or did I read that correctly on GigaOm. The site shows a 404 for the article right now but I am pretty sure those on RSS would have read that. Om Malik seem to be speculating that Mac Users won’t be able to buy advertising on Microsoft AdCenter. AdCenter doesn’t work with Macs. A small e-tailer who recently switched to a Mac learned this the hard way, and in the end decided that he would rather spend his ad dollars with Google.
The AdCenter is also rumored to be not compatible with Microsoft Vista as well.
Here is supposedly an email received from Microsoft. The names have been XXXed to ensure privacy.
Dear Sir/Ma’am,
Thank you for contacting Microsoft AdCenter Support, my name is XXXXXX.
The latency that you are encountering is being caused by the operating system you are using, which is the Mac. At this time AdCenter is not compatible with Macs, and is compatible with the following:
-Windows 98 or later, not including Vista
-Internet Explorer 6 or later
-Firefox 1.5
