Spot the difference?

I saw this ad in the December 2005 issue of Dr. Dobb’s
Journal for the MS spot the difference sweepstake. It asks the viewer to spot the differences between two
images of the same scene. On the left the developer without
Visual Studio and on the right with Visual Studio. The ad claims
"Once you start coding, you’ll see it immediately". It was a good
advertisement as it got my attention as I tried to spot more an more
differences. So good in fact I decided it scan it in an turn it
into a HTML page. Click on the image below and you will get a pop
up with the pre-Visual Studio developer. Mouse-over the image to
see post-Visual Studio. Read the rest of the entry for things I noticed.
