Funny, since the new MSN search is xhtml 1.0 strict (sent, not unsuprisingly, as text/html and markup that will undoubtly break when sent as the correct mime type).

When will people learn that MS is an imitator?
When will people learn that MS is a slave driver?
When will people learn that they can be completely free from the bondage that is MS?

OK, so maybe “everyone else” is streching it a little…but not much. ;)
