Wasn't this one of Micro$oft's "bright ideas for IE" to turn (what they 
considered) key words into active links? It was touted some time back that 
they were going to do that and link to their "preferred" sites. I think the 
idea got abandoned due to too much bad flack ... but it would not surprise me 
to find a few IE's in the wild with this "feature".

hassle since I did that to my kids machine.
