Microsoft uses invalid code on website in order to make it work with IE

This page [http://messenger.msn.com/Xp/Default.aspx] does not display correctly using Firefox, but works fine in Internet Explorer. Why you ask? Because in order for IE to work, there are over a hundred invalid CSS attributes and 43 non-valid HTML codes. Just goes to show how broken IE is...

it might also be deliberately designed to push people to use m$ie - if they want m$n messenger ...

m$ have a long history of ignoring industry standards in favour of their own proprietary ones - and succceeding in replacing the former with the latter. it's all about revenue. m$ didn't come to control people the computing world by playing fair.

[to be fair, most people wouldn't notice the problems ... and most of those are cosmetic. but still stupid unnecessary.]
