Do I like IE 8 Beta 2 ?

Well my answer is "NO". I will get down to the points
1. Private mode is nothing great as a technology, firefox also provides a way in which you can delete on close. But yes this will not affect history but only the browsing session, so as such i dont consider it as a great "innovation".
2. Bloated, its memory footprint is high.
3. The so called "tab isolation" is crappy, i mean its nothing great, each tab is now an iexplore.exe process, so if you have 5 tabs you will have 6 iexplore.exe processes.
4. "tab isolation" has promised to make sure that even if a tab "hangs" others will work fine and the tab will be restored or killed without affecting other tabs, but i found myself in a situation where there were lot of hangs and everytime, the whole IE processes die together.
5. There were some sites where i found the website getting into an infinite loop, where it loads the same image(s) again and again and again ... which works perfectly fine with firefox.

I never liked safari too either, i would still rate firefox as the best and no doubt IE8 offers very little advantage over firefox. I know its beta 2 lets see how the final version looks like.

Netbeans 6.5 impressive ~!

I checked the beta version for C++ development, and it is really really impressive, since it has excellent code completion, and instant error is visible for any syntax error, just like java development.

It seems impressive, frankly much better than VC 2008 that i use for c++, lets see how it performs better in the longer run !

So go ahead and start using it to see the difference. Though of course VC's have a great advantage of using lesser RAM (if you use the express editions though).

Change is good but !

Well somehow again, i feel there needs to be a lot of improvement to Blogger, since i still feel writing on a wiki is more of a fun experience.

I am starting to like visitor pattern :-)
