   A great idea, but unfortunately it’s windows only – not much use to me

   Windows only?!

   I’ll definitely try it for future websites!

   Where is the plugin? I’m not promted with a plugin install and do not see a link on the page. I’m using Firefox 3.5/OS X 10.6.2

   @Don,
   Once a browser image is clicked, the plugin asks for installation (Windows only).

   Windows Only? LAME! Why prompt?

   @Michelle,

   Sure and thanks very much for the reference.

    Great concept. I am amazed at the people who commented, lamenting that it is windows only. I don’t understand how you can design for users (most of whom will be viewing the site on a windows) and not have a windows platform to test the site. Maybe drop the snobbery and more people use PC’s than Macs. Keep the whole audience in mind.

    Is it just me as I cannot get this plugin to work on my desktop machine – just keeps saying ‘buffering….’ but doesn’t seem to ever finish…

    I can’t get this to work. Opened the IE6 link on Firefox and it just opened up Microsoft’s website. I then used IE8 to open it, and this time saw an option to install plugin. I do so, then hit the big green launch button and then I get Office Enterprise setup dialog that takes a while then asks to restart. I do so, go back to the page to launch IE6 and same Office dialog pops up, so screw it, it doesn’t work for me.

    I can’t get it to work either. Error message reads: An error occurred while buffering the application. Please try again.

    I installed the plug-in already. Error occurs for all the browser options.

    @Gav, @James, @Ashley,

    Similar problems occurred to me as well.

    I removed the application from add/remove programs, restarted PC, re-installed and worked.

    However, I have read many users can have problems somehow.
