Yes, sometimes.

The times I've cared enough to track it down... Most often, there 
were connectivity problems within MS' network (for elements that were 
not cached by akamai).  Other times it was the double-secret 
handshake that MS' servers use with IE, which introduces delays and 
load failures when talking to other browsers.  Or it was their use of 
bogus html, css, flash, etc.

If you could provide the actual URLs involved, and a traceroute to 
'em, we could take a look.

The web server failed to provide that page element.
