Flash and ActiveX objects in SuperPreview
Because SuperPreview does not render Flash,
ActiveX, or other object content, a region that contains an object may not be displayed
at the same size as it would be displayed in a browser (depending on the underlying
HTML and CSS). Set width and height dimensions (in pixels) for each DIV tag that
contains an object tag to help mitigate this problem.

Importing Silverlight video on 64-bit Windows

or Windows Server 2003 unless Window Media 11 SDK is installed. To correct this
problem, download and install the Windows Media Format 11 SDK.

or on 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows
7.

Publishing view icons
When you set a folder that contains subfolders and files to be excluded from publishing
the icon is changed only for the selected folder; the icons for the subfolders and
files do not change until you refresh the Folder List panel even though those subfolders
and files are correctly excluded from publishing as soon as the property is set
for their parent folder.

Overwriting files that are not checked out in Team Foundation Server
If you start a Get all files from the
publishing destination operation without first checking out the files in your
working folder, the files are not automatically checked out from source control.
Instead, the files in your working folder will be overwritten but will still be
locked and their status remains as "checked in." To work around this issue,
check out any files that will be overwritten before getting the files from the publishing
destination.

control, and then open the file.
