gotta love it ... "<meta name="vs_targetSchema"
content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5";>" from the web
page itself.

>From Micro$oft's Visual Studio Developer Center, it has this to say:
"targetSchema property selects the validation schema used for designing
an HTML document, XML document, or Web forms page. Each available
setting names a Web browser for which the document can be designed."

So I guess they developed their web pages to support IE5?  Real
cutting-edge stuff there!

Go give 'em the what-for, Sean!
