The Irony is Ridiculously Thick

As I mentioned before, I've been using Windows Live Writer, Microsoft's blogging client.  It's what let's me have those nice "Source: Article Corpreform Leaches From" links at the bottom of quotes.  I'm liking the client a lot, even more than blogging from Word.

You can install it to integrate with Internet Explorer, and doing so gets you a nice "Blog This" button.  To use it, simply select the text you want to copy, and click the button.  It does the legwork of generating the link. 

I'm an IE 7 guy, and have been using the Blog This button there.  Until it stopped working.  I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and no dice.  So for the hell of it, I downloaded Firefox and put the Blog This plugin for Firefox on my PC, and it worked.  Can someone explain to me why Microsoft can make something that works with Firefox and not IE?  Isn't that grounds for termination?
