The one problem that bothers me the most is their implementation of the 
CSS box model. The standard calls for the content of the element 
surrounded by padding, surrounded by a border surrounded by a margin. 
The folks at Microsoft decided that they would count the border as part 
of the padding. In FF if you have a padding of 1px, a border of 1px and 
a margin of 1px, the total space around the content of the element will 
be 3px. If IE, the border and padding are collapsed so you have a total 
space of 2px.

Why did they do this? You'd have to ask them.
