Actually, this is worse, now.  Notice the "Your browser is not compatible with
this interactive feature" they put in the middle of the screen.

I see the layout problems in the second attachment all the time...the strange
thing is that if I go and visit an article on the site and then hit the back
button to go back to the main page, the layout is correct.

Maybe we can get them to fix this soon?

I see it as fixed now.	

I can't reproduce the errors from before.  

This is going directly to www.msnbc.com

Its broken again. Using build 2004021409, I get the following at
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/:

Network Error
Unable to read URL from host www.msnbc.msn.com: Not in GZIP format

It displays just fine on IE.

Seems fixed right now.  There's a NN7 stylesheet too:
