Microsoft is testing a new version of its site

Now everyone can evaluate the new version of the Microsoft website, which is undergoing final testing, and will soon be launched. The new user interface is called “Metro”, it uses the principle of a “slide” transition from page to page, without the need to reload pages each time a new transition occurs. It is worth noting that the appearance of the page and the range of products of the company are presented in two different versions - “Work” and “Home”. I think it makes no sense to dwell on the differences between these options, anyone who is interested in the new version of the corporation’s site can find the “ten differences”.

It is worth noting that the transition between the two profiles, “Work” and “Home”, is carried out by the same “slide” method, and the transition is carried out in one click. Personally, I like it, the site is not overloaded with information and individual elements, it seems like everything is in its place, and you can also find the required information or product without much loss of time. The developers of the site tried to stylize the resource for the interface of other software products of the corporation, including Windows Phone 7, software Windows Media Center, software for Zune or Xbox 360.

The company announced its intention to update the corporate website a few months ago. In principle, we can assume that the attempt is quite successful - the site has really become more convenient and practical. Of course, the opinion may be different, but it seems to me that the new version of the software giant website deserves a positive assessment. It would be interesting to learn about the opinions of those who are professionally involved in website development, web design and more.

Yes, there is still the opportunity to switch the old and new site interfaces, but soon, as mentioned above, the test version of the Metro UI will become the main one so far. It seems that the corporation’s website will benefit from this.
