I wanted to find out why only Basic Experience of OWA is available on all browsers on Mac? I know they are referred as down-level clients but never have seen a good detailed description of why Premium experience can't be provided. I would need a feature list (I know ActiveX controls don't work there, neither XML, but need mroe specific info like why they are necessary and which features in Prem. OWA depend on these underlying feature-set) which is not available in Mac browsers which hinders provision of Premium experience. If someone already know of some public resource, please point me to that. Thanks!

I've been following Ajaxing for a year or so (since Gmail appeared) and am amused to discover that Microsoft invented it for Outlook Web Access in 1998. Microsoft is also taking it further with its Atlas project: The Atlas Client...

I'm sure Jim will elaborate on their efforts to cater to "alternative browsers" if you point out a shipping browser that could actually compete with IE5 in 1998/1999.

BTW Jim - great entry. I like reading these 'once upon a time' blog posts very much.

Alternate browser support

Jim Van Eaton — Wed, 22 Jun 2005 19:08:58 GMT

We had to almost provide two codebases to support both experiences. One for the rich IE5+ browsers and another for the alternative browsers. This is one of the weaknesses of developing rich applications that many of the AJAX developers discuss. We decided to take a more low risk approach and try and reach as many browsers as we could with the OWA Basic experience. Going forward, this strategy may change since other browsers have evolved and market conditions change. I think this topic deserves a separate blog so stay tuned.
