• Interview: Paul Cotton on Microsoft Participation in the W3C HTML Working Group - W3C Blog
  "As you can see, Microsoft is investing very heavily in the W3C HTML 5 effort, working with our competitors and the web community at large. We want to implement ratified, thoroughly tested, and stable standards that can widely help interoperability of the Web. We will have more to say on the subject at the MIX conference."

• Pagetest - where web sites go to get FAST!
  "This tool lets you test web pages that are directly accessible as an URL from the Internet. If you need to test a page inside of a firewall or something more complicated than a web page (an authenticated product like webmail for example) please download the desktop version of PageTest which this is based on."

• High Performance Web Sites :: WebPagetest.org ? top tool
  "Pat Meenan and Eric Goldsmith are the team behind AOL Pagetest and WebPagetest.org. AOL Pagetest is the Windows tool that works in IE. Pat took that and put it behind a web server running in his basement and called it WebPagetest."

• IEBlog : Tab Isolation
  "IE8 isolates the frame process (title bar, back button, address bar, etc.) from the tabs processes (that show web pages). If anything causes a site to crash (an extension like Flash, or the rendering or scripting engine, etc.), the frame and other tab processes will not crash. IE isolates the whole tab ? all of its code, data, and extensions ? to keep IE resilient to webpages with issues."
