The Google cache shows the Microsoft site with an X-Box in the big box, and a game ad, DirectX, Templates, Clipart, and Microsoft Office links.
It must know from cookies in advertising it shows all over the web to know if your IP has seen a lot of XBox ads on XBox sites, or if your IP has seen a lot of Visual Studio ads on Slashdot (even if you don't click) it shows the Visual Studio home page.
Even if you don't click a Microsoft ad, it seems to know which site to show you, probably by collecting IP addresses from different web sites where they show ads.
