    I found scriptfree's font size becomes a bit smaller than usual, which makes it really painful for my eyes to get used to. Is it by design?
    I tried to define a custom zoom level in IE8 to get a size I like, but this setting doesn't seem to keep persistent and specific to one web site. Also it would require a few more clicks and typestrokes.
    What's the motivation of this change? Are there many people complaining former size wasting too much space?

    If you are reading outside of Visual Studio's Document Explorer, just use CTRL + Up / Down to adjust this font size. I think these pages are written on monitors that are gigantic, and so the fonts look bigger to the MS developers.

    Well unlike in firefox where you can zoom to 110%, Ctrl-= in IE8 will zoom to 125% which looks too large to me.
    I haven't been using the integrated help viewer for a long time, since I've binded a shortcut key to do a google feeling lucky search for any text I selected like an API function name from any context, even if outside visual studio. That's why I care about the font size in IE.
    Of course huge thanks to MSDN team for the scriptfree UI which makes my scenario work almost perfect.

    I second that .. I like the script free view the best but the font is a tad too small. Also the navigation on the left side is very limited in case of all the views except the classical view
