Microsoft.com gets a makeover
- bornhuetter 14y agoIt's gorgeous. I really like Microsoft's new look, and I'm a big fan of text (done right) instead of icons.
- smurph 14y agoI really like it too. I'm afraid that if Windows 8 doesn't go over well, the whole look will get trashed by association.
- kibwen 14y agoDoes it look to anyone else as though the yellow square in the logo is slightly out of place? It's ever-so-slightly disconcerting. I wonder if it's an optical illusion or a subpixel thing. EDIT: The green square as well appears to be shifted upward by less than a pixel, if that makes any sense.
- kmfrk 14y agoTry the site on a mobile device (or resize your browser window). Looks like they're employing a responsive layout. I've always wondered why Apple doesn't make Apple.com easier to use on mobile devices. Maybe because they expect people to use the Apple Store app - even though it's only available to a select few countries?
- kibwen 14y agoAlso try Ctrl+Shift+M if you're on a newer version of Firefox.
- daledavies 14y agoYou know I'd missed that and it's pretty damned useful too!

- inafield 14y agoI can't reproduce any error there. Perhaps they fixed it?
