Actually, considering Microsoft's other sites, that's not too bad.
Virtually all the errors are caused by not properly encoding the ampersand symbol
As for the others, they can easily be rectified by doing some minor changes.
17 errors? Not bad considering some other sites.

Cool site! MyMSN was getting tiresome, but I didn't like the placement of the two Web-Zines that pass themselves off as blogs.
Why not give a boost to Microsoft community blogs?
