Because Microsoft doesn't know how to configure their web servers. You will
notice in Opera 9.27's file download dialog, that Microsoft serves this file
as "application/octet-stream" -- which is incorrect. I suspect it should be
served as "text/html", so any browser can open it and render it. Although,
after saving the survey.aspx content and viewing it in my text editor, I'm a
bit suspicious -- perhaps Microsoft cannot figure-out the language code,
encoding, or content-types being requested/submitted by Opera 9.27. Who
knows.

Contact Microsoft and have them change the Content-Type returned by their
survey.aspx page. Or, disable JavaScript for the support.microsoft.com
domain, and you won't see those survey forms. ;)
