microsoft.com — On December 14 launched a new home page for Microsoft.com. The new page incorporates months of research, testing, customer feedback, and refinements. A much needed redesign in my opinion, looks great and goes well with a "Vista" theme.

looks pretty nice. The background is bit boring. I was hopinh they'd do a vista blog style background.

You know you're a moron. And if you are in advertising and design you should be fired. If you were working for my firm, I'd kick you out the next day. If you would closely look at the technical design of the site you'd not say this nonsense. Number one thing that people hate about sites is navigation. What M$ did is illiminate the navigation business to square one. Thats brilliance. Now I dont have to leave my homepage too often to click here and there, everything is layed out right there with popup windows, or java and css.

why would they be putting ads on their homepage? Can't they host them themselves? Firefox users with Adblock don't even see the Zune ad which is the primary focus of the page in IE. Certainly they would want their own products to be viewed by browsers with ad blockers. They obviously missed thinking through that one...

I like it....very aesthetic.

To me personally, I thought it was a little jarring to see the juxaposition of the large "counter-culture" Zune ad at the top, next to the professional stuff to the right with the image of the business woman in the chair... It seems like they really need a different entertainment portal, though Apple somehow manages a cohesive website feel across product lines. But Apple also does not target the iPod at any specific age group.

Good point - thumbnails are useless! Why not just logos, or product images?
