Hi, my name is Paul Cutsinger and I’m the Lead Program Manager for the IE8 User Experience. As Dean mentioned in his beta 2 announcement post, for IE8 we focused on improving people’s everyday browsing experience – what they do all the time. We looked closely at what people do and how they do it to design ways to make their browsing even better. For all of the top usage patterns, we looked for ways to reduce steps, introduce new capabilities, and improve on how people actually browse. In this post, I’ll discuss a small sampling of IE8’s new features that make everyday browsing faster and easier. Future posts will cover each of these, and other, features…

Has anyone else seen where a terminal server is not updating the following key appropriately: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\WFProfilePath We were migrating the file server to a new platform. The Profiles share was moved to a new server. Each users TS Profile path was updated in AD. The two controllers (both local) were synch'd. But the three Terminal Servers would not look to the new server. Found that key was still pointing at the old server. We manually edited the key, but does anyone have an idea as to how it should have worked? And why it might have failed? Thanks, Chris

Hi, and thanks. The big picture is that i'm attempting to set up Wireless (802.1x) Authentication. I have a Windows Server 2008 Standard (non DC) operating as the Enterprise CA. I've created a new certificate template. In the CA when I attempt to add a New Certificate Template to Issue the newly created certificate is not shown in the Enable Certificate Templates list. I've set Read, Enroll and Autoenroll permissions on the certificate for authenticated users, domain computers, and RAS and IAS servers. I know that Windows Server 2003 requires Enterprise or Datacenter edition, is that also a requirement for Windows Server 2008? Any help would be …

In my case I'm having the error 0x80070643 but it is relating to two different updates that just won't install. One comes back in the error log as: Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070643: Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (KB948109).

My taskbar keeps getting caught behind my windows. So I have to go into taskbar properties, check and uncheck "keep the taskbar on top of other windows", then hit apply. What is causing this and what do I do to fix it for good?

What could make a service on a Windows Server 2003 create a 0-sized (ie empty) <processname>.<pid>.mdmp file on exit. On another system (both are Win Server 2k SP2) this does not happen. It happens when the process exits cleanly itself or if it is stopped using the windows service management console. I had a look at patch differences between both systems and nothing seems to be related to those empty .mdmp files. The service runs fine in any other respect, it's just these files being generated whenever it is stopped. Any hints could be appreciated
