He's absolutely right. However, I'm curious as to
how well http://www.microsoft.com/ and its
helpers do in this area.
http://www.microsoft.com/ - 29 errors, 1 encoding warning.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/ - 119 errors, including
errors in ampersand handling
http://www.live.com - 64 errors, including a really
strange markup 'xmlns:web' which has no value
http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/ - 28 errors, some
of which appear to be because one specified HTML
4.0 Transitional but used '/>' for empty tags.
Not that I'm much better; my vanity page has 12 errors
of its own, but I plead "I've not updated it lately".
It would be interesting to write an IE validator, which
would look for all constructs known to correctly work
in IE (but not necessarily in other browsers).

Linux. Because it's there and it works.
Windows. It's there, but does it work?
