Seems nice enough, though it still seems a bit vague about what is new.

i know, why would they update XP when the focus is on vista?
#5.4 Nexx295 on 29 Jan 2007 - 08:04
Yes, it's been updated. It looks exactly like the Vista site, only the content is different.

The new Vista site looks nice, but the old one was better IMO.

I'm assuming you think it's good.
#7.2 ANova on 29 Jan 2007 - 07:17
No, it's not. It doesn't work in Opera either.

"My eyes... my eyes!" is a quote from Friends (the TV show), and no, it's not good.

Only thing that doesn't work at all is the Flash animation. For some reason Opera blocks some javascript that allows the site to check the version of Flash.

The demos are impressive. =)
#9 Tikitiki on 29 Jan 2007 - 04:28
Lookin pretty good. 'Web 2.0' if you want to put it that way.

Prefer to put it as "if your initial marking campaign falls flat on it's face, pick it up dust it off and put a new smile on it."

You call that professional? Not in my books. Sorry. This is aimed at home users and not businesses. Most businesses don't have time to be bothered by flash or wmp plugins. They just want the page to just the hell load.

Microsoft is dimming itself's pride of consistency and professionalism and moving forward caring about appeal more than stability and accessibity. I know broadband...I have it but that doesn't mean 100% have access to broadband and only a dialup connection and will it load these pages to appeal these to upgrade to Vista? How about thoseon old computers withing 95/98? Will these pages load on there in time to satisfy these potential customers?

Try CTRL and + on the homepage in IE. It looks horrible. Shows they don't care about disabled people.

Most businesses don't want fancy pages, they want instant access to information which I doubt the new design provides with ease.

vista isn't just for Businessess retarted. If you want professtional go to the 95 or 98 site. this is the 2007 now get a life
#11.2 Tammm on 29 Jan 2007 - 09:53
Business & 56k? I haven't seen too many businesses with a 56k connection in my lifetime. And if they do, reading about Windows upgrades are the least of their issues.

This is the face of the internet in 2007, time to wake up and stop living in the past!
#11.3 Jazket on 29 Jan 2007 - 13:03
Looks like his books need a serious update... I'm a Web Designer, and their site looks pretty professional, complex (in design view) and very quick at loading times to me. Lay off the 56k mate, DSL is cheap now in days.

Uh oh! I just installed IE7 again, and this pops up;



Now I just don't know what to believe
#13.1 vetneufuse on 29 Jan 2007 - 12:04
uh what? You dont know how to believe a dialog asking you if you want to turn phishing filters on or off? huh?
#13.2 XerXis on 29 Jan 2007 - 15:38
that's because you installed ie7 and it asks how you want to configure it, nothing special
#14 vetneufuse on 29 Jan 2007 - 11:29
