    Part of Microsoft's attempt to make IE8 relevant (aside from their mass internet spam campaign). The *really* funny part is they screwed up the user-agent code with IE8 and it thought IE8 was IE7 (they fixed that today). They also make some 'interesting' comments when you visit the site with Chrome or Firefox/Opera.

    This was a joke! Just like that "know the facts" site they put up for IE8. Total propaganda!
