What the heck? http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/features/default.mspx

Notice the horizontal scrollbar at the bottom. They can't even get pages to render correctly in it, how do they expect other web developers to?

I have IE6 and I have no scroll bar on the bottom. However, in FF 2.0, I do have the bar and it works fine.

Looks identical in Opera and IE6. When maximized no scroll bar when windowed scroll bar...

Whats the problem?

I have a widescreen... :)

I'm not surprised. Nobody follows standards anyway.

This was on a my school's library computers running IE6. I think the res is 1024x768.

BTW, I haven't actually checked to see if it is an IE problem or a code problem.

I think the problem is they designed it to display on a minimum of 1152 x pixels rather than the common 1024.

personal taste i guess... i suppose badly designed was the wrong words to use, it looks tacky and grotesque, i think it looks horrid, why would i want to see a picture of that weird looking guy? they could of at least bought him a shirt that fits, his looks like it got shrunk in the laundry.
