People actually did a test of this. To make sure style sheets and HTML were correct, they used wget to pull an MSN page with style sheet, setting the user-agent in the HTTP header to identify itself as Opera, IE and Netscape. They then analyzed the files that the server returned.

Wow, congratulations. They found a bug. In your world, a bug translates immediately into "they did it on purpose". Again, as I pointed out before, never ascribe to malice what can be explained by error. But since you dweebs hate MS to the point of frothing at the mouth over every bug, I'm hardly surprised.

If you'd take the time to read the files, you'd know they were far more than a bug. The whole thing is crafted to look bad, while doing nothing would have left the page rendering perfectly.

If someone had five convictions for burglary and you found him on the premises of burglary in progress, would you automatically assume he's perfectly innocent, or would his past create a strong likelihood he's involved?

This isn't Google, which puts ethics at the forefront of everything they do. This is Microsoft, convicted monopolist on two continents and payer of billions in settlements due to unethical and illegal conduct.
