    usually sites who imitate others are spam sites. Like when you see pop ups that look like windows notifications.

    Personaly, I would avoid that site, its author is very untrustworthy. He (who has more names then a phonebook) also wrote the "Firefox Myths" page. He has been known to spam almost every tech forum and blog in order to promote his site.

    ^ Three different threads about the author, his known IPs and his known aliases.

    His site is basicaly a pro-microsoft FUD-the-competition page packed full of Ads.

    Although, on the otherhand, some of the tweaks that he suggests for MS software may be of use to some. Just take it with a pinch of salt.
