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