OK, it's a trick URL but notice how easy it is to be fooled. The actual page you are sent to is www.hwnd.net which is kind of hidden in the URL. Neat page though.

There are a lot of unethical sites out there that use the URL redirect trick to force folks to go to a different page and some of these pages have malicious code that can harm your computer. Of course, there are also ways to redirect the URL WITHOUT changing the address in the Browser's address bar but that's another topic.
BTW, this trick Microsoft page is perfectly harmless or I wouldn't have included the URL in my post. The www.hwnd.com website has some other funny stuff you might enjoy reading.
