Is M$ B0rking again? The linked article's focus seems not totally improbable given my experiences of similar.
The summary flap seems another case of browser and server interactions blocking files. Remember the Opera B0rking fiasco?

To my take stripped of rants,FUD,and the usual other chuft - There is ample past history to support non-neutrality as being at work. Read the article and responses. Can we independently sanity check this both from our Linux boxes and any Ms ones we have to use?
Well, considering that no one has done the test of downloading from GMail via Firefox masquerading as IE7, it's unclear whether it's GMail or IE7 doing the borking. We know that GMail will refuser to allow executable attachments (allegedly due to concerns about "viruses", but perhaps also to avoid being used to distribute warez), so we can't discount out of hand that Google is at fault, rather than Microsoft.
I'd say the matter warrants further research before any conclusions can be reached.
