Yes, Mac aficionados are welcome to access Windows Live Hotmail via either Firefox or Safari. For Safari users, we offer a lighter version of Windows Live Hotmail with minimal reliance on JavaScript, but with the same 5 GB of storage that everyone else gets. Firefox 1.5 users on the Mac will experience heavy use of JavaScript, as will users of Internet Explorer® We test against a variety of web browsers and support the major browsers across a variety of operating system platforms. Internet Explorer from 7.0 down to 5.5 versions, the leading versions of Firefox (cross platform) and Safari (cross platform) are supported as well as Opera. Basically any browser supported by MSN® or Windows Live in general is supported for Microsoft Live@edu. We also do browser detection to tune the experience the end user receives based on the browser’s capabilities.
