Piddly VS 2005 Debugging Tip

I spend entirely too much time in Virtual Machines. And while they tend to work pretty close to real machines when you've got a real hardware, there are a few subtle differences - especially in the drawing/visual arena.

For example, if you are debugging a webform/webservice on a virtual machine, as you step through the debugger, you may experience the pain of switching back OUT to the web browser, and back to the file you are debugging, each time you step through another line of code. (It's terribly annoying - especially since VMs/VPCs suck most at painting - even blank pages which is what's ocurring, etc.)

This is probably obvious, but in case it isn't: Just minimize the browser window, and presto: you're back to just stepping through code with no need to wait for painful repaintings of a blank page...
