I just uninstalled Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 because it constantly kept crashing. A good thing was that it was only crashing a single tab in IE8, but multiple tabs constantly kept crashing for no reason (to me at least). A new nice feature is colored tabs.

Just take a look at what's in mine and note that I'm not actually saving my documents in there. Why are all these files/folders...

SQL Server 2005 problem solved. The ISO's I used were probably corrupted. I installed from cd and everything installed like a charm. I'm running SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition without problems now. Vista isn't the most stable OS I've had so far. I keep running into small problems. C++ Runtime error...

So I'm still running Vista and guess what... I got my first BSOD this morning! I can't remember the time I had this with WinXP. New default in Vista is sleep, instead of shutting down. So when you press your pow... *** ... power button, you computer ends up in sleep modus. This means you boot up faster...

So I'm running Windows Vista. And although it's running very smoothly itself, there are some problems. SQL Server 2005 won't install This is the weirdest one and I have no idea how to solve it.
