Quite a few new releases: IE 8.0, SharePoint Themes, Silverlight 3 Beta

There have been quite some releases this week

(Microsoft)Internet Explorer 8.0 out of beta: Link
(Microsoft)Ten SharePoint Themes: Link
(Microsoft)SilverLight 3 Beta: Link

Now all I lack is the time to check them out indepth. Gah.

InfoPath either cannot connect to the data source or the service has timed out.

This error is one we get confronted with quite a lot (especially our juniors ). As a clear fix isn’t really described out there I’ll put it here and hope it bubbles up on google

If you are using http://localhost in your webservice url, use http://servername. That should do the trick.
