[Am-info] Budweiser: Use Microsoft software or bug off

[Mitch Stone]

Curiously, even when I set the user agent on Safari to MSIE for Mac or  
Windows, the site returns this error message, but when I run the "real"  
IE for Mac, it works. Most of the "IE-only" sites can be accessed by  
simply changing the user agent, so I don't get what they've done here.
