Hacker News Reader

That's really cool because as the only reader of HN that's on Windows Vista SP1 with IE8, I can confirm that this is the first graphical JS demo posted to HN in the last 12 months that actually works on my setup.

Just out of interest, why are you still using such an ancient browser? Any reason you haven't upgraded to Chrome or Firefox?

I develop software, and want to be right below the line of the average user (25% of some segments of my market are still on XP).

Though am planning to update soon...

Have you considered using VMs for these environments (ie. XP, Vista)? You're potentially leaving a chunk of your users out in the cold if it stops working properly in Windows 7 / IE 9+ / Chrome / Firefox.

(I have no idea if you're doing web or application development.)

Have you checked out http://khanacademy.org/cs?
