Microsoft's website is a solid improvement, and glad they are spearheading the responsive design movement amongst corporates.
But when it comes to their stated goals of simplification, it may seem odd that MS continue to promote unwieldy URLs.
Is /default.aspx really necessary? Would the average visitor care about the underlying technology?
This seems unlikely to be a simple oversight, but perhaps it's intended to advertise the .NET brand (at the cost of usability), or maybe legacy reasons.

However Google and Apple think simple, clean URL's are important too. http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=76329 http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&...
