Microsoft Has Horrible Website Design & It’s Hurting The Web.
- aresant 17y agoGreat catch, it's surprising how many large companies do not practice converion-oriented website design. Multivariate testing would have eliminated that site design in 15 minutes flat.
- fookyong 17y agois it because he's browsing on a mac? microsoft don't show download links for software that won't work on your system. I bet if you look at that page in IE6 there's a big ol' download button.
- JimmyL 17y agoExactly - environment fail. There's no download link for IE when you're looking at the site from a Mac because...there is no IE8 for Macs available. So where you'd think there would be a download button, there's text saying "IE8 is only available for Windows", which is correct. If you look at the site using Windows (http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3662/iedownload.jpg http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3662/iedownload.jpg), there's a big ole' download link, which is exactly what the complaint is about.
- melvinram 17y agoYou're right. It was an oversight on my end.
