Due to the number of Salesforce companies we’ve dealt with using Group Edition and missing out on apps like MintFly, Vertical Response, and Jigsaw, we’ve created an “idea” on the Salesforce IdeaExchange:

Why limit AppExchange applications to Professional and above? Some applications like MintFly, Vertical Response, and Jigsaw would be a great help to the Group edition customers.

Please allow AppExchange and other partner applications to work with Group Edition.

It’s amazing that so many people in this day and age (of rising mac popularity, iPhones, Firefox usage) would choose to limit their web site and require only Internet Explorer.  For instance, with the virtually unlimited number of online print shops, Staples requires a Windows computer running Internet Explorer.Here is the error page:

Interestingly enough, I would expect the message to say something like “Sorry, we still have our web development team from 1990 who is really good at Visual Basic.”  Instead, they’re taking the “act natural” approach, as if this is something you should expect from using the internet.VistaPrint seems to be at least mostly in touch with this whole “internet thing”.  They require at least Firefox:

Does anyone know of good print shops online that let you use Safari?
