This may well be that either or both sites codes for IE-specific quirks. 
We should check our own code before pointing fingers at them. Word is, 
IE 8 is much more standards-compliant than IE 7. And now it uses the 
standards rendering mode by default, which is great for the long-term 
future of the web. Lets not force them to reverse direction (again).

Firefox, Safari and Opera's combined market share is rather more than 1% 
:-) Depending on which country you are in, it's anywhere between 15% and 
45%.
