I will be writing up more articles tomorrow morning (Seattle time) but for now I just wanted to make sure you all know that Microsoft released a new IE9 Platform Preview at PDC10. The new release brings some new features such as CSS3 2D Transforms and it recognises HTML5 Semantic Elements as well as bug fixes and other enhancements.

You can download the new Platform Preview from ietestdrive.com.

The new release doesn’t look like the IE9 beta released back in September and is like the spartan Platform Previews from before the beta. However, Liveside has a post about how to bring the clean IE9 Beta UI to the PP.

Microsoft have also said that they don’t plan to release another beta of IE9 but that the next release will be a Release Candidate; we are getting close to a final version of IE9.

"icons showing the synch status of files would be nice too, just like SVN, Drop Box, G Drive do :)"

"I have annother tip. You could have all your documents folder synced to skydrive if you right click the my documents folder and change the location of my documents to a folder within skydrive. That way when you change something in my documents folders it is also updated to skydrive. You can do this to sync between computers if you don't exceed the skydrive limit."

"Whta's about hardlinks (fsutil....) - so you can have yor original useful file structure and those folders, which should be synced, as hardlinks in the skydrive-structure? However, Live Mesh rules and I am also sad, that this good important difference to dropbox & Co - I can select, which folders of my structure should be synced - is now missing. "

"I think Microsoft is reinventing itself in a good way. Deep SkyDrive and Office integration while keeping everything in sync (tablets, desktop, laptop, phone) is a great value that I think should and will attract some people as well as part of the Enterprise sector"

"Wouldn't it be nice for the Windows Phone 7 app to have a back-up functionality? That you can back-up all (or a section of) your pictures, documents on your phone instead of the one-by-one approach."
