Thanks, everyone has high hopes for IE 9 and I hope it will finally be more CSS3 and HTML5 friendly.

P.S.: Keynote also discusses a bit of VS 2010 features and quite a bit of OData.

I dont like how hyped up these people are. I am coming to dislike programming, once you start to be good and feel comfortable and good about yourself in something, they come and change the way it's done and you have to start all over again because "that's how it's done now" and what you did so well is supposedly old technology, and the bloated buggy unintuitive stuff they are shoving at you is supposedly better. Sure it lets you do more things, but what about the quality?? Are you sure the user is dying to see transition, and other bling bling?

I just finished a website laid out with tables, and tested it from ie 6 to 8 ( it has to be accessible to people with old computers - hence possibly ie6 ) and it looks great, and I realized that my "old" html skills that I have perfected are now going to be thrown away, nobody will use ie6 anymore and everyone will be expected to design using CSS and newer technologies.

@rolf: That's definitely something totally valid you're saying. The latest new hot stuff in programming are actually 50-60's breakthroughs in functional languages (mostly). The only real hardcore stuff that are emerging and you should worry about are the multicore technologies and making use of all your processor cycles.
Other than that, it's all scruff.

I agree with you, I hate that too but the world is always moving, and business is driving technology these days, you have to ride the tide or it may take you in it's way.
