I’ve just been watching the live Mix webcast. There have been some great demos and interesting announcements already!

Internet Explorer 8.0 beta 1 now available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/ie/ie8. The demo showed of this really cool feature around web slices where you can add content such key information from an ebay auction into your favorites toolbar.

Silverlight 2.0 beta 1 is available for download. Silverlight 2.0 is going to be extremely cool as it’ll see the next wave of rich advertising, adaptive bandwidth use and a lot more..

I’ll update this post with more information at the end of the webcast!

Update: Check out the Silverlight 2.0 demo at http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/. This shows off the seadragon or deep zoom technology from MS Research.

Cenzic an innovative leader in application security risk management, vulnerable assessment, and compliance solutions revealed its Applications Security Trends Report. It’s interesting to see the number of vulnerabilities by web browser. It’s also interesting to see that Denial of Service (DOS) were only 0.2% of the overall attacks and 59% of the attacks were scan or probe related. It’s good to see IE test for fewer vulnerabilities than the others, it’s a promising start and I’ve got a feeling that IE 8.0 will be a whole lot better!
