Microsoft website looks better on Google Chrome than IE6

Surprisingly, some Microsoft sites apparently looks better in other browser than Internet Explorer. Microsoft has dropped support for their 11-year-old Internet Explorer 6, even on their own domain. That's a bold statement IMHO, Bravo Microsoft! 

 

As viewed on Internet Explorer v6.0

1. Missing logo! That's an epic win!

2. The PNG transparency in the search bar is not transparent as IE6 doesn't support PNG transparency. A PNG hack is usually implemented to solve this problem.

3. The dotted line is covered by the icons and became broken dotted lines.

4. The javascript used to display the content for submenu is buggy. On load, the image does not appear which leaves a huge whitespace at the content area. Visually unbalanced to say the least.
