mattrobs Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 very very basic gradients... and the top seems to have shrunk as well (example). though, some subpages are still stuck in the past (example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prasanth Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I dont like the footer of the page. The rest is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japlabot Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 You know when you're browsing their site, and how it always pesters you to do a Survey Well once I did it, and it asked if I preferred it like that, or with the gradients going in the opposite direction. They have had this on the board for a while :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theh0g Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 They only changed headers and footers, that's it. Everything else is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premgenius Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Nice! Wondering how do they do that square mouse over effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I cant see the difference between the new one and the old one. It might be a bit lighter but its not much improved I didnt use microsoft.com very much so I am probably wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAM Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I got this weird effect at the bottom of the page when I loaded it in my browser, see the attached partial screenshot. I use Opera 7.23 Build 3227 (one of my 5 installed web browsers :-). Is this a browser issue or a "IE optimized" web page? By the way, the page looked O.K. later....

1o9 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 The header looks like it's straight off a used-car dealership's website Looks pretty nice otherwise, it is indeed cleaner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I don't like it. I tried to use a validate page to see if it conforms to HTML standards but it fell at the first hurdle- No DOCTYPE defined http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.microsoft.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japlabot Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 hmm it seems to be a mix of html and xhtml :s gameguy: I do care, a correctly validated web page is essential when determining a well-made webpage. I am disappointed that Neowin doesn't validate correctly myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
