Microsoft, Firefox and Bad (X)HTML

So Microsoft stuffed up their redirect of real web browsers [1] at one point from their preview page [2] (you’ll need to set your browser to lie and say it’s IE 6 on XP to avoid the now-working redirect to the standard MS home page).

I think it’s a device to try and hide the fact that it’s the usual MS generated broken markup, the W3C validator spat out 113 errors and 13 info messages [3] and their CSS doesn’t fare much better [4]!

They’ve got their work cut out for them if they want to avoid making it a significant regression on the results for the current home page which has only 2 HTML errors [5] (though still with a considerable number of CSS bugs [6]).
