I also just noticed that pulling up a bad url in ie 5.5 and 6.0 both take
you to msn.com's search page (not the temporary one they placed a few weeks
ago). Personally when I mistype in a url I don't need a bunch of graphics
and advertisements telling me I did it wrong. Using MS at work can really be
a pain...

Sounds like they might be.  Also, the Opera folks say that they can get
through by changing the User-Agent string by just one character:

I was wondering if they're doing it for the BSDs -- has anyone tried?
