I like it, but it leaves room to improve.  They are a large company
and even I can do better than that.  It is nice to see that they are
using standards though, not enough sites do that.

Great, glad to see Microsoft getting out the closet and embracing web
standards! Now lets hope they upgrade all the other MS sites. If so, I'll
start to believe in MS again, as a forward thinking company, that works with
us and not against.
