Vista Page
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/
Look at it in IE then look at it in firefox.
I contacted Microsoft to see if it was intentional with this message...
"I have a question.
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/">http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/</a>
In IE it looks fine. However, In firefox "Experience Windows Vista" is messed up and is overlapping the text below.
My question is...
Was this put in there on purpose to push Internet Explorer and put Mozilla's Firefox to Shame?
Thanks advance,
Keith"
The reply they sent me was this...

With my question still unanswered I sent them a second email...
"You still didn't answer my question. I also checked the vista page to see if it was compliant and it failed the validator.
<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fwindowsvista%2F">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fwindowsvista%2F</a>
I must say that it's not a bug in Mozilla's Firefox however, a desing flaw left by the developer of that page.
My question still remains. Was the design flaw on purpose?
Thanks advance,
Keith"

So what do you think the answer is? Microsoft doesn't want to tell me it seems. I'm just being dicked around. Maybe should have mentioned to them that the site Only Works in IE. It doesn't work in Opera and Opera has the best html engine out there.
Spread the word about this!
