Redesigning Microsoft.com - with CSS, without tables

Redesigning Microsoft.com - with CSS, without tables. A 62% file size reduction anticipated! "If multiplied out by my measly 1 million page views estimate, that 25 KB savings comes to about 23.8 GB in bandwidth savings per day, or 8.5 terabytes per year." Go for it MS!

What's even worse is that in general MS sites don't use compression...e.g., http://www.pipeboost.com/getreport.asp?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2F
So, they could save 80% of their bandwidth by using compression...even worse this (http://weblogs.asp.net) bad boy could go from almost 400k down about 70k!
