Click on the link at the top right to stay in Lowband mode and then explore in super fast mode. Excellent!

There are gaps when you drop into the standard MSDN pages - and wow do you notice the difference.


I love the loband version. the only thing I miss is a simple search box. so, hopefully they'll add it sometime in the future


The other thing missing is the language filter


why not install a local copy then?


fwiw upgrading from IE6 to IE8 on my machine irreversibly broke devstudio's msdn viewer, just shows a blank page now for all topics. so, yeah, it's nice to have a local copy, but it ain't always working :)


I saw this a little while ago, but was very disappointed that all outgoing links point to the hiband version. Effectively, I have to change all my links before browsing to them, or load the hiband version first then click the lowband link. Anybody have a secret I'm not getting?


Click the "Persist low bandwidth view" in the top right corner.


Excellent, I have a slow connection and used to hate their Doc. Now it's fast and simple
