The Microsoft DevToolBar - Are you a web developer?, do you have to check, review or create web applications or plain web sites, the DevToolBar from Microsoft is the tool to have.. Switch screensizes, look up tables or DIV's, validate your CSS or HTML on the fly, measure distances or use the DOM explorer to highlight your or others work.
I mean the hardest job is making your work function in al those browsers out there with different ways of rendering your work. Atleast the DevToolBar gives you an easier way of looking for the problem.. you still have to find it yourself obviously! :P
If Beta2 doesnt scare you away tho.. lol
