Unfortunately, the Operating System you are currently using is unsupported.



I'm not impressed with that at all.

I will DEFINITELY be buying that beer, next time I see it. That was a very cool ad. I make a point to buy products at least once, when they make cool ads.

You might have to get yourself down to Australia then! I dont know whether they do much export business!

That's a big ad. My favourite from the same maker.

I've heard Fosters referred to as 'our best exporting beer'. Translation: we don't drink much of it here

So it expects me to allow a program written by a beer company full access to my computer?!? I think not. I've already had enough problems with ad/spy ware. And if this isn't adware or spyware, then what does it need permission to do? If it just wants to draw pretty pictures and play sounds, they should have used Flash or something similar.

Linux (Fedora Core 3). These specs seem to imply that it works on Linux only if you've got a Windows browser installed to run under WINE. It apparently wants to done something a little naughty here -- y'all might be careful, as another poster has already mentioned.
