This is the result of trying to click the link.  Mozilla shows nothing, but
Internet Explorer shows information.  See EXAMPLE.JPG for more details.

There seems to be a lot of invalid CSS in the linked css files and within the
web page itself according to W3's CSS validator (for example font-size="7pt"
instead of foint-size:7pt) and the html code doesn't fair much better according
to W3's HTML validator.

I would say this was Tech Evangelism.

The page apparently only works in MSIE5+ for Windows, but I don't see how.
That's some really ugly code, and the scripts aren't defined anywhere.

Guessing this is a dupe.

There are 25 bugs against msdn.microsoft.com, but I didn't see one that dupes this.
