If you open it in Internet Explorer, you will see that it also does not work
there.

This is a problem with the page, there are extraneous quotes in the
JavaScript -
new BrowserData(escape("Maxthon Browser"),
'../Resources/Images/maxthon_logo.png',escape("37 rodzaje języków, narzędzi
do tłumaczenia, etykiety, dotykowy ekran, wyłapywanie reklam. Dwukrotna
nagroda w kategorii *“Porównanie oraz Wybór"**.**"*), escape("http://
go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=166943"), escape("
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=166944")),

Try to notify Microsoft - and do it quickly, or else... Internet Explorer
will always be the first for Poland! :(

(Tip - if you have a Windows Live account, you can sign
up<https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/SelfNomination.aspx?ProgramID=4792&p...>to
the Microsoft Connect website, to the IE Feedback section, submit
a new bug<https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/CreateFeedbackForm.aspx?Fee...>,
which says that it does not work on IE (do not mention it does not work on
other browsers) and I guess it will be forwarded to the right team that deal
with this page.)

How convenient for Microsoft to have a bug like this. :|

You just do not have a permission to view it, because you have to have a
Windows Live account *and* you have to sign up to Microsoft Connect or to sign
up<https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/SelfNomination.aspx?ProgramID=4792&p...>
to
the Internet Explorer Feedback section in order to view these issues.

(Also, is the "I can too" button as small as it can be, or could it be
shrunk any further without disappearing?)

I tried contacting MS to find out how to file a bug report directly to
the browserchoice-team, but got no info, only the standard answer
"Please send an email to (countryname)@microsoft.com"

Really true.

Microsoft has promised a fix will be made available soon. An e-mailed
statement attributed to Jesse Verstraete, senior E.U. communications
manager, states "We were already aware of the issue, which applies
only to the Polish language version of the browser choice screen, and
we have the fix scheduled for next week."

Well, it's a one-character bugfix and they've received this per email,
per phone, per blogs etc. I guess it might get fixed next month.

Excellent, it is not fixed! Yesterday I tried reloading twice and got
IE8 on position one, but perhaps I was extremely unlucky or had it
cached or something.

Were the other browsers at the exact same positions as well?
If so, it means it was not fixed. If not - it was fixed and you were just
unlucky. :)

Yes, I tried checking carefully, though only twice, about 34,5 hours
ago:

Also it is quite possible that I did normal reload instead of shift-
reload (using Chrome 4.1) so most likely it was fixed in the last ~34
hours, or that I'm suffering from bad webproxies somewhere, though
that has never happened before so also not too likely unless the
browserchoice-site uses some stubborn frontend caching servers.
