How would it know? The only thing relevant to a web form is the browser being used. The particular browser generally depends on the OS, but that’s all. What they almost certainly mean when they say “we don’t support Mac or Unix” is “we don’t support any browser than internet explorer, but aren’t actually bright enough to say so”. If there’s a Java applet involved, then it might be OS-dependant. If it’s just a simple form, with or without javascript, then they’re talking out of their arses. -- Benjamin M.
