[Gloucs] Jobs at MessageLabs

[Administrator]

Hi,

Jill clearly stated that the job 'involves Linux' as you know many companies 
use multiple operating systems, and yes that includes Microsoft products.

Unfortunately we also live and work in an environment where the vast majority 
of the population use browsers such as Internet Explorer.

I agree that companies should support as many open-source browsers as 
possible, and the issue should be addressed but shooting the messenger won't 
get this done..

Regards,

Simon
