I have downloaded the new emulator images and I’m really impressed that the IE6 render engine really fits in such a small device. I have created some screenshots below. All Web sites look very similar to the desktop version of Internet Explorer. Most AJAX enabled pages are working, on some Web sites...

I found a nice document at Microsoft Download showing all the new features in Internet Explorer 8 which is currently in beta: Speed and Efficiency. Internet Explorer 8 is faster to start up, creates new tabs in a snap, and loads and runs Web sites much more quickly (especially sites based on JavaScript...

Microsoft has canceled the Deepfish research project lab. I was not sure if I would love the Deepfish browser as there was a big lack of missing features like AJAX, JavaScript, Flash/Silverlight.

Some years ago I wrote a simple SMTP/POP server and using some code from there was a great help. The first version will only return static HTML pages...
