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 got JavaScript errors, well, they are not ...

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. Yesterday I read in the news that Microsoft will port their Internet Explorer 6 render engine to Windows Mobile. Hey, does this mean that Internet ...

Some of you have heard about the Deepfish project at Microsoft Research. In March 2007 Microsoft announced a new mobile Web browser to bring desktop-like browsing to mobile devices. Since some days the Deepfish project Web site has been removed, you'll get an http 404 (file not found) or get redirected to the new Live Labs overview (there is only ...

Du verwendest Visual Studio 2005 Express und würdest gerne die Funktionen der Standard Edition nutzen? Warum nicht einfach eine Visual Studio 2005 Standard Version kostenlos bekommen? Oder wie schaut es mit Expression Web (es handelt sich hier um die erste Version), dem neuen Web Editor von Microsoft aus? Du setzt immer noch Frontpage oder ...

Yesterday I was playing around with Google Chrome. Yes, it is a very simple UI and I love this. One of my comments at the IE8 roundtable in Berlin was that I would like to get all the options and configuration dialogs replaced by a HTML page inside the browser (similar to about:config). Well, when playing with the history search which looks really ...

An official starting point could be http://www.google.com/chrome as it returns an http error 404 instead of a simple redirect to the Google ...

I will collect some of my thoughts about the current beta 2 of Internet Explorer 8 I have noticed during IE8 community roundtable last week: Address Bar and Searching Since months I’m using a great Firefox feature that I still miss in Internet Explorer 8 (beta 2): the searchable address bar. With the current beta of Internet Explorer Microsoft ...

Internet Explorer 8 is in beta and we're able to improve features that we need. Last week I sent a short message to the Microsoft DPE here in Germany with some comments what I like more in Firefox 3 than in Internet Explorer. Well, there are a couple of great features like the star-it function to easily bookmark a Web page. Another great feature ...

While developing my small Ajax.NET M! library for creating Web applications that run on the .NET Micro Framework I have started to write my own Web server. 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 e.g. for documentation or help files. As ...

The embeddedworld2008 is over and I had some time to play around with Microsoft .NET Micro Framework devices. I can remember that I had a look on it during the first available betas on Microsoft Connect, but then stopped watching it because of the missing TCP/IP stack. The now available version 2.5 of the .NET Micro Framework adds this directly in ...
