The keynote is over, and the break-out sessions have started here in Las Vegas. As soon as I get the photos from my iPhone onto my Laptop I'll get those uploaded to flickr to keep all of you up to date.

From umbraco's perspective the most interesting thing so far has been the Beta 1 of IE8, I'm really impressed by it, fantastic debugging tools, much better performance and I'm happy to report that Umbraco is running smoothly on it. You should try it out, it's at: www.microsoft.com/ie/ie8

And as soon as the keynote is up on visitmix.com go see it - if you ever doubted that microsoft could pull of something really great with silverlight, you should absolutely see it! (the demos begin after about 30 minutes I think.

That's all for now, I'll check back in regularly during the week.

    Cool with umbraco and IE8 love (shouldn't come as a surprise though).

    I also thought the HTML5 specifications about network connections and sending post commands upon reconnect was *really* interesting from an umbraco perspective!

    Hi, yeh I watched it last night the keynote and I am impressed with IE8, mainly the debugging and better CSS support so I am not spending ages to fix IE CSS bugs/tweaks.

    Now if they were to foce an update to IE8 when released so we can drop support for IE6 in the web industry.

    I can confirm that it seems like Umbraco and IE8 works fine together (allthough I've only played around with it briefly).

    But there's a ton of other pages out there that has minor flaws in IE8 (including iGoogle), thank god they put in an "Emulate IE7" option in the beta :-)
