Found this on www.microsoft.com:

Internet Explorer 4.0 Setup provides three different installation options for you:<P>

	<B>Minimal:</B> (14 MB) Includes Internet Explorer 4.0, Java&#153; Support, and the Microsoft Internet Connection Wizard.
	<BR>
	<B>Standard:</B> (15 MB) Adds Microsoft Outlook&#153; Express and Microsoft Wallet to the Minimal installation.
	<BR>
	<B>Full:</B> (22 MB) Adds Microsoft NetMeeting&#153;, NetShow&#153;, FrontPage&reg; Express (formerly FrontPad), Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard, and Microsoft Chat 2.0 to the Standard installation.


Excuse me, but what the hell are those illegal &#153; NCRs doing there?

What is Microsoft's problem?!?

And this:

   <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso8859-1">

Shouldn't there be a hyphen between "iso" and "8859"? My copy of MSIE 3.01
is reporting these pages as Shift-JIS.

Lordy lordy lordy.
