Interestingly enough, the site hasn't changed much since the 90's here is a link from the Way Back Machine

The latest version has this interesting bit on the head

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18828">

It's only interesting to me because in my short life as a developer its the first time i see this MSHTML reference, if you are like me here is a good read:

Trident (also known as MSHTML) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trident_(layout_engine)#cite_no...

According to this version 8 was the first to pass the ACID 2.1 test, the article links for reference this blog post from Microsoft that is dated 2009 - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2009/01/09/the-internet-e...

I'm guessing the latest update to that site wasn't long ago, makes me think about the process they have to change a site like this, for such a clean site, i think it has passed the test of time, and it reminds me how much Microsoft rules on the Corporate world.
