How did Mircosoft do this???

Can someone give me some input on how Microsoft designed this page? I've never had any training in web design but I'm pretty good at picking up on things, but i need help with his one.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/features/default.mspx

also can you give me your input on how i design pages.
I first design them in fireworks the export them as html/images. For the most part that's is as long as it's a normal html page, and if it was a ASP page i would make a slice, delete it then insert my asp table, but the problem with that is my image isn't there anymore and then i just have a plan background. that's one of my problems, i don't know how to insert a table over my image or how to go about not losing my background when i add my table to it.

hopefully you guys can help me out.

right click the page and choose View Source.
they're using horrible tabular design, very not surprising.
if you got any specific question about something in the page
maybe we can shed some light, but asking "how to do that"
is way too vague.

Look at the source...they are just using div tags and assigning certain sizes and z-indexes.

the guy on the front is displayed using this code:
Code:
<div id="wvHeroPhoto"><img src="/library/media/1033/windowsvista/images/person_features_everyone2.gif" alt="Man in green sweater"></div>

and the CSS:
Code:
#wvHeroPhoto
{
 	position: absolute;
 	width: 267px;
 	height: 395px;
 	z-index: 15;
}

basic absolute design.
