Buggy Website Screenshot as Seen on a Modern, W3c-compliant Browser

I get a lot of weird effects when I use Firefox, current build and W3C (World-Wide-Web Consortium)-compliant browser, trying to view buggy IE-preferred sites like this. People often blame Firefox for "not displaying my page correctly" when it is, in fact, IE that is "incorrectly" displaying your page "as you expected to see it." As a Web Page Developer I see this all the time. The key is to build compliant, modern code with legacy-compatibility and avoid proprietary (IE-only, NN-only, etc.) code.

Yikes that picture doesn't look quite right! Have there been any compatibility issues on Vista 64-bit OS? Good example of coding discrepancies, great pic!

Don't have / won't ever use, VISTA. I use XP 3rd, and on the second HDD, LINUX. If it weren't for needing some programs on XP/Windows (and my not yet understanding how to install WINE on Linux), I would forever leave M$ and all their deprecated, latent and buggy stuff.

This is a mild example. I 'fixed' itself a few hours later, but this is a typical 'mess-up' and upon examining the code, I stopped many dozens of old (like 10+ years outdated) code still in use.
I read about the upcoming "WINDOWS 7" I guess it is called... being heralded as 'what VISTA should have been and already, programmers are united that MOST of the problems with XP, VISTA and even 2000, have NOT be fixed!! It is supposed to be 'better?' -What did they change? We're talking re-arranging the chairs & tables on the Titanic I'm afraid... Not that much has changed ... :-(

I find Chrome quite fast, but there are issues with it.

I used to use Internet Explorer and now I switched over to Firefox and I have noticed that the number of viruses, stalling, etc. has gone down significantly.
