Err, it won’t work on a Mac, or Linux, or Solaris, or xxBSD, or Windows with Opera, or Chrome, or Firefox, or Safari, or anything except Internet Explorer.

I also experienced a problem using it from my home machine which is just running regular Windows XP Pro/SP3 which meant that I couldn’t enable the required ActiveX object without arsing around with the registry. The ActiveX object was there but disabled and hidden.

So my summary would be that if you happen to run IE on Vista SP1 then it will probably all be OK, otherwise there is a moderate chance that it will not work.

If you get the impression I don’t like the web interface you would be right :)
