Neatly done, though I’d really prefer these things come with at least a blog entry describing how it was done.
Mainly I’d love to know if it’s reasonable to modify it towards your own use. Looking at the CSS it seems like a lot of very tiny and hairy tweaks, that would require someone who is both technically adept, and very visually adept.
Update: The download has a version of the code with some very helpful comments. Not so useful for my purposes, but very useful if you wanted to learn more about the techniques used to build this thing.

Very nicely done, but I wouldn't use this with iFrames for the time being. I started playing with the Wiki article and the slider jumped around a bit incrementally until it decided it was "done" sliding at an incomplete stage. It has since been synced like this: http://i.imgur.com/0LSDk.jpg

I don't get this. He's produced something that you find "really nice", leveraging a resource and thanking said providers of the resource. And still they get dumped on... for what?
And with a page that appears filled with nitpicks and a level of pedantry that doesn't really matter to people who're just starting out with HTML/CSS/whatever else is being served up by W3Schools, or looking to learn something quickly. Basics which can then be used to develop deeper skills, as is wonderfully demonstrated here, and build expertise in a manner similar to how most people progress - iteratively, over time.

This is great, thank you! My startup focuses on creative people such as designers and developers, and so far only 2.4% of out visitors have been IE users, so this is perfect for me!

I don't understand why that was downvoted. These days CSS3 is married with HTML5, it seems like it would make sense to have your page in HTML5 as well. BUT I did talk to the creator and he admitted he hasn't got around to learning the HTML5 elements yet, and that's totally fine.
