Low Bandwidth MSDN Pages

I just read over on Scott Hanselman's blog that there's a new low bandwidth view of MSDN pages. This is definitely cool and a much quicker way to load help content from MSDN. Check out this topic: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlnode(loband).aspx.

It works only for library content, but that's the most important one to start with since it where most of my doc searches are looking anyway. Another cool thing is in the top right hand banner of the page, you can "persist low bandwidth view". This link makes all of your jumps into the MSDN library now use the low bandwidth pages rather than the normal MSDN pages. :)

 From Scott's blog, it sounds like sometime later this year this new low bandwidth view will become the default MSDN view.
