Sony at the bleeding edge as always

For the benefit of anyone using IE (boo! boo!), here's what you get if you open the above in e.g. Firefox:
http://www.sonystyle.com.hk/ss/vaio/upgrade.html
<font color="#ff0000">Sorry!</font>
<font size="2"> To best view this site, we recommend using Internet Explorer 4.0+ or Netscape Communicator 4.7.
</font></p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top"><font size="2"><span class="css2">To download recent versions:</span></font></td> <td width="20"><img height="1" src="http://www.sonystyle.com.hk/ss/vaio/Image/clear.gif" width="20" /><br /> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top"><font size="2"><span class="css2"><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">Internet Explorer</a><br /> <a href="http://home.netscape.com/" target="_blank">Netscape Communicator</a></span></font></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p>

This function explains it:
if( navigator.appName.charAt(0)=="N" && navigator.appVersion.charAt(0)==5){ location.href="../../upgrade.html" }
(This also explains why the site works in Opera).
God, please forgive Sony's web designers, for they know not what they do.

I'm in firefox, and I see it fine. Huzzah for NoScript!

I use User-Agent-Switcher for these tasks since it doesn't actually prevent the normal sending of user-agent data - but allows you to change it on those (thankfully rare) occasions where you stumble on a braindead website.
Meanwhile, be sure not to leave it set to "Internet Explorer 6" when replying on this forum - several pieces of functionality disappear.

It looks ugly in every browser, so the real wtf. here is that "best viewed with". Its just best viewed when looking not at it.

Actually, that's kinda got me wondering. This page is so ugly and so out of step with the rest of the site that I reckon it's an orphaned page that someone's forgotten to delete, and that search engines still have a reference to.
How was it found in the first place?
