Hey sparker,
Absolutes like "there is *NO* valid reason" are pretty lame. You don't have to agree with it as a function, and I appreciate your point--we considered using a larger, nested table to hold the page, chose not to.
However, there is a valid reason--the idea was to have the images scroll directly off the browser edge to increase the dramatic effect of the images being spliced and vertically displaced.
Placing the window nested in a centered table w/ a flat background works fine, but it isn't the effect we wanted. It may "work" the same, but doesn't have the same visual effect. A poor choice? Perhaps. But it is a valid reason, just one you don't happen to agree with.
It has been tested on MAC/PC in IE, NN, Safari; so I'm not sure what browsers other than the 99% this covers you're mentioning. As for alternative devices, it wasn't in the spec, not something we built for.
I'm not sure what's "amateurish" about it. You may not like resizing scripts, that's cool, but the scripts are tight, operate exactly as designed, and that's across all major platforms.
