I recently purchased a new computer but unfortunately couldn’t wait until the official Windows 7 release date because the sale would have been over.

September 4th, 2009If you are a fan of FireBug (rockin’ plugin for Firefox to debug and see what is going on behind the scene on a site) then you likely use YSlow performance tool to see bottlenecks, file response times, missing objects, etc.
