Use a browser that allows you to set its "identification" to MSIE, such as
opera or konqueror.

U.S. To Probe Microsoft Passport Flaw
Keith Regan -- May 09 2003
Although potential financial losses would be unlikely to dent
Microsoft's cash- heavy wallet, public relations damage as a result of
the revelation could be far more worrisome to the software giant.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) plans to review whether Microsoft
(Nasdaq: MSFT) violated a consent agreement with the agency over the
privacy of its Passport online password system, following the
revelation of a flaw that could have compromised millions of
consumers' private data.
----
But Passport also has been the focus of controversy for some time.
Last August, Microsoft settled FTC charges alleging that Passport did
not effectively protect personal data.
