I'm sad because you don't upgrade your browser!

If you spoof your user agent, or use IE11, you don't get redirected to the "crying" page (the page uses 301 redirection BTW).

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko

Also worth noting, an excerpt from the IE blog[1]:

  Obviously, maintaining Compatibility View Lists requires a significant investment
  on the part of the IE team—resources which could be used to implement more
  new standards, performance improvements, etc. Please please please: use
  feature detection rather than User-Agent sniffing.

If the IE team doesn't want people to use UA sniffing, they should teach by example.
