One of my sins is using (also) Win XP, now, before you flame me and tell
me XP is works of the devil, I would like to express my sincere agreement
with this fact.

However, today I recieved a CERT-advisory telling me to install some patch
due to security issue. I opened my mozilla, and entered the URL.
While the mozilla accessed the link
(http://microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-023.asp) (using
proxy, as always) I had enough time to minimize it, start internet
explorer, copy the link into explorer.
Explorer, using the same proxy finished showing the web first. Actually,
I could see the page in explorer before mozilla changed the url (to some
internal microsoft.com url of the form
something.asp?url=omething-else.asp, go figure...).

Now, I know that mozilla is faster on my conmputer with my netowrk (same
proxy, I mentioned?). So the question is this an explorer optimization, or
microsoft.com just identifies mozilla's and other not-native browsers and
gets stuck?
