As for Notepad2, I much prefer Programmer’s notepad but that’s just me :)

Nice list otherwise~!

The difference is amazing -- more features and better performance! First time ever that I've had an upgrade that was not only better but faster. On top of that, the new features are sweet!</p> Do yourself a favor James and upgrade to Creative Suite 3. The difference is amazing — more features and better performance!

It's not reliant on IE, so you can test your web apps for different browsers (and with the same test code).<br /><br />http://www.openqa.org/selenium/</p> If you’re using Watin, you should also try Selenium.

I have seen my friends have all kinds of problems with app compatibility, performance, etc. I used Windows 95 until 98SE came out, and I used 98SE until XP came out. I think I will probably use XP SP2 until Vista SP1 or SP2.<br /><br />@Dan - Watin makes it so much easier though!<br /><br />@David - Never heard of Wireshark, I will have to check it out.</p> @Patrick – I just haven’t seen a reason to upgrade.

@Dan – Watin makes it so much easier though!

@David – Never heard of Wireshark, I will have to check it out.
