Or, if you’re tied to it – maybe you can just help Microsoft fix it -

Why is this important?

Microsoft is holding back the creativity of the web by forcing web designers to use old, broken, and outdated methods to display and layout their work on the web and in email. We’ve gotten Microsoft to listen and change their ways – Internet Explorer 7 and 8 are MUCH more web-standards compliant than Internet Explorer 6. But they took a major step BACKWARDS in compatibility when they went from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007. Why is Microsoft swimming AGAINST the tide again???

How does this hurt you and your business?

You want to market your message to your clients and consumers in the freshest, most innovative ways possible. You don’t want to be tied down to the exact same limitations and creativity that the year 2000 had to offer or WORSE. Yet Microsoft is about to do just that – cut you off at the knees when it comes to email marketing and design.

Please – help web developers across the globe innovate and come up with great new ways for you to market your message – take a moment to click this link – http://fixoutlook.org/ – and click the Have Your Say Now button to use Twitter to re-tweet this message.
