Actually, looking at the Microsoft website Dave pointed to, it looks
fixed-width to me ... and left justified instead of centered ... I wish
doing a 'view source' was a bit easier to read, but from the way their
javascript is defined at the top, it looks to be fixed to 855?

<body onLoad="initPopup()" onUnload="exitPopup()">
<script type="text/javascript">
var isW;isW=(document&&document.body.clientWidth&&document.body.clientWidth>=895&&document.getElementById);
</script>
