Plus you can make it a one-click install to your browser's bookmarks bar; Safari forces you to use the Dashboard to view, and forces/allows/empowers the user to define the region they clip. Horse for courses, and all that... @Anonymous: You’re right, it’s similar, but IE’s web slices allow you to style the segment of the web page differently from the page, if you choose (we’ve removed the thumbnails from the News & Trends web slice, for instance, to save space).

The page-let is then kept updated in the Dashboard. Safari for Mac has had a similar feature for a long time – you simply choose “Open in Dashboard” and you can select any part of the page you want.

I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong on this though.

This might not be an IE8 only feature for too long.

Suppose that's one saving grace!

Can't say I use IE myself, but I'll probably load these into the v8 beta for a fiddle and a tune. ;) Nice work guys.
