Well Hotmail IS now owned by M$, and thus they'll chage the site to
specifically need IE5 as opposed to NS or any other browser on any
platform. they'll make it dependant upon certain features of IE5 so that NS
users "upgrade" to use their browser! Sucks, dunnit? So much for standards!

They over-use features of HTML when they can achieve the same effect (and
quicker/cheaper) using more common, "lesser" features. It's a common thing
in the PC world - they have to slow down and clog up your machine the best
they can, or else you wont upgrade! ;-)
