Summary: Applicants must buy Windows with Internet Explorer from a convicted monopoly abuser, says a government site which is intended to help people without a source of income

The Web site Linux Today has just pointed out that "Filing for Unemployment in Illinois requires Windows/IE" and here is the source of the screenshot above. The submitter wrote:

This is the error message I get when attempting to file an Unemployment Claim with the State of Illinois using Ubuntu/Chrome. Just another example of organizations building web apps locked to a specific browser. In this case, they only support IE 6+ on WinXP/2000/ME. The "Caution" statement at the top of the page made me laugh!

The state is acting as an agent of monopolisation. Be sure to see the comments regarding the original. It's the same in Oklahoma and who knows where else. ⬆
