Bill Gates pulls it off again

Is it just me...or?
Hotmail has today changed its format.
I try to sign in on Netscape 6.1 - my preferred browser
get this message -

"Web Browser Software Limitations
Your Current Software Will Limit Your Ability to Use Hotmail

You are using a web browser that Hotmail does not support. If you continue to use your current browser software we cannot guarantee that Hotmail will work correctly for you.

We recommend that you upgrade your web browsing software and invite you to download Microsoft Internet Explorer 6."

Then I press the continue (with netscape) button and
Bingo
my computer freezes
requiring restart
and yes of course the new Hotmail works with my IE 6.0.2800 (except that it is horribly slow which is why I prefer netscape).

Earlier today in the office netscape worked but there was very little contrast so very difficult to identify any buttons.

As I said at the beginning -
Is this just me and my machine?
or is it another plot by Microsoft?
Shall I pass on Hotmail and use Yahoo?
(got to tell an awful lot of people if I change my address)
