A new free troubleshooting tool: AppDynamics Lite

Today I received an email about a new tool called AppDynamics to track down performance issues for applications running on a production environment. Maybe nice to test this one out next time I run into slow performance.

Another example why we all love IE !!

Besides from the usual frustrations I encounter in my day to day live developing webapplications which SHOULD also work on Internet Explorer, I just found another little reason to drop IE from my support list.

Why? I just had a discussion with my customer explaining that the reason why some stuff failed to work was the trailing space in a @id attribute. Firefox for instance shows the data as it should.. untouched. The customer however was a bit frustrated because when he opened the xml file in IE, he did not see the trailing space so we ended up in a small yes-no discussion ;-)

Firefox:

IE:

Lesson learned: Be carefull when debugging issues using Internet Explorer.

@Microsoft:
Do you really consider this a feature... or is this just one of many bugs?
