Twanging back onto topic, I gleaned this from an Opera newsgroup:

The site as such is a typical result of MS driven moronisation.
They do in fact promote this style of web authoring on their own "info
pages" and it is of course a fully motivated move for them to do so.
MS wants to "own" the web; what better way to create such a "fait a'
complet" than to design and promote a "new" way to link to other
resources, which is more or less guaranteed to be incompatible with the
link that once laid the original foundation of the www?
Now if some (well above 50%?) of users are on MSIE, where are the
complaints with some weight to come from?
This "MS company" needs to be crippled if it cant find a way to adjust
itself into decent behavior.

Moronization: a form of acculturation where people are encouraged to
anoint themselves with the supposed benefits of a technology, without
understanding the engineering (or lack thereof.)
