I normally use Firefox which is a little slow today. Switching over to IE 9 Beta WPF is instant.

Well, I've had to download Firefox & access WPF through there. Internet Explorer just keeps giving me error messages & closes out saying I cant connect to the internet, click here to diagnose problems, bla, bla.... but only on WPF site & from 2 different computers!
STRANGE!

it is weird it only happened to us. It was also strange that it only happened on this site.

You may want to look at the arcade fire video on google chrome it is an experiment showing what chrome can do. its called "The wilderness downtown"
