    3 weird Windows Facts

    1. Nobody can create a folder named “Con”.

    Try to create anywhere on your hard disk a folder called “Con” (without the quotes). Go to a location on your hard disk, right click, choose “New” and then select “Folder” from the menu that appears. Name the folder “Con” (without quotes) and hit Enter. You’ll see that the folder won’t be named “Con“. It will be “New folder

    2. A text file made with Notepad, with the following content : “Bush hid the facts” (without quotes) won’t display the actual text.

    Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad . Write in Notepad the following text : “Bush hid the facts” (without quotes) then Save the file and exit Notepad. Now go to the text file you created and open it. You’ll see that the text you just wrote and save won’t show.

    3. Write in Word this : “=rand(200,99)” (without the quotes) and witness the magic.

    Open Microsoft Word and on the first line write : “=rand(200,99)” (without the quotes)  and hit Enter. Magic in the making.

    Microsoft has released a public beta for Internet Explorer 8. This release is intended to help web designers and web developers prepare for the upcoming version of the browser.

    Download Internet Explorer 8 public beta

    Some of the most important features for developers are the improved compatibility and interoperability and the new developer toolbar which enables developers to quickly debug HTML, cascading style sheets, and JavaScript in a visual development environment. Other improvements are the full integration for cascading style sheets, version 2.1 as well as the HTML improvements like the separate URL handing for attributes.

    Easier and faster, Internet Explorer 8 will offer three different rendering modes :

    • Quirks mode which supports Internet Explorer 5 and legacy browsers
    • Strict mode which supports Internet Explorer 7 and is accessed through the emulate Internet Explorer 7 button
    • Internet Explorer 8 standards mode

    Some new features are also added. For example Activities and WebSlices.

    Activities are contextual services that provide quick access to external services from any webpage.

    WebSlices behave just like feeds in that users can subscribe to them and receive update notifications when the content changes.
