Yes, very funny! For those who don't read MS in Chinese, you may not
bother.

No problem if you're using Firefox, with the translate
extension.

Odd. I tried one or two and they went to Microsoft's English site.

The site is English and I could not find any Chinese links. Perhaps it was a
reference
to that fact that the site launches at the bottom of the page. Unusual, but
not too difficult to press "Home" and go to the top. I did find, however,
that I could not save the page with IE and had to resort to another browser.

Me, too. I couldn't save directly with IE. But I worked out a quick
way, anyhow. Maybe it will help someone in the future.

I opened the source and it was a frameset. So I pasted the non-frames
address into IE and got another website with all the same info as the
original.

But couldn't save that page either. So I opened that source. But now
my text editor wouldn't save it (maybe forbidden characters in the
filename?). So I pasted it into a new document and was able to save
that one... as goodies.htm.

Goodies.htm opens perfectly in IE. And now I have the info.

IMHO It's easier just to use another browser to download the original
file!!!
