[Web4lib] Microsoft Book Search Misfire

I might have a few comments on the new Microsoft Book search service
<http://books.live.com/> if I could actually see it. In a move that smacks
completely of Microsoft, the site is completely unusable on anything other
than Windows. I've tried Firefox, Opera, Safari, and even the very ancient
Internet Explorer on the Mac and none of them would display any search
results and one of them (notably MSIE, interestingly enough) didn't even get
far enough to _enter_ a search. I would say "unbelievable" if it weren't,
sadly enough, quite believable.
