Bing Continues Growth, Ad Impressions & Clicks Way Up

If you think that's bad, you should see the MS Partner Portal. It's hopelessly broken in anything other than IE, and it's not unusual for it to throw 500 errors left and right even if you are using IE. It's par for the course with Microsoft, though. Their eOpen volume licensing stuff is just as backwards and byzantine.

When it comes down to it, Microsoft makes some genuinely great products, but the process involved with dealing with them makes me want to avoid using their products if I can.

Unfortunately that's not MS-specific. The revered Google used to have the same no-go warning for users of Adwords with Opera. I tried it again just now, the warning is gone, but the Adwords interface doesn't load properly (more specifically the dashboard loads, however campaign editor and "Opportunities", whatever that is, don't).

I can't imagine how this is not deliberate.

This is actually the only reason preventing our business from using MS Adcenter. We all use Firefox or Chrome, and I'm on OSX and don't really wish to boot into Virtualbox just to spend my money

I'm using adcenter on Chrome. All you have to do is click Continue on the popup with that notice and it works pretty well for all aspects. I haven't seen anything too buggy except for seemingly random text alignment issues. Not sure about dev though as I'm on 5.x
