Beware : IE8 Beta is buggy

I know it's in BETA 1, but can you expect your older IE7 installation to go kaput once you use "restore point" in Windows XP to revert back? Welcome to Microsoft's yet another crappy offer - IE8.
First of all IE8 copies host of features straight from it's competitors FireFox and Opera - stuff like "Sessions" has finally made it in to IE in it's 8th reincarnation! I wonder why can't MS allow both IE7 and IE8 to co-exists? I have Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 Beta 4 installed side by side and no complaints! I think adding this feature will be more challenging to programmers at MS than rendering "You have opened a new tab" on a newly opened tab!

First test for me was to check if my yahoo mail works in it's new layout. As I expected it didn't, yahoo showed a message that it's not compatible with this version of IE. Thanks to some one at MS, there is a button on the tool bar called "Emulate IE7", which when clicked fools the websites that user is using IE7 and I just did that, which worked.
Let's see how it all goes, I now have IE8 Beta , FireFox 2 and FireFox 3 Beta 4 - among all these I found FireFox 3 Beta 4 really fast, website loading and rendering was much faster than IE8.

No Events tab for WPF controls


Ouch! I thought as I kick started dabbling with WPF and VS 2008. Luckily I found a way to get around this issue. If you go to the XAML pane and just after your control declaration hit space key on the keyboard, VS would show you a list of properties for that control and in this list the events are shown marked with a lightning bolt symbol. Hit tab twice and VS declares the event handler in the code behind file. Not bad, its nifty way of getting around the problem.
