Now everyone can appreciate the
new version of Microsoft
's website, which is undergoing final testing, and will soon be launched into operation. The new user interface is called “Metro”, here the principle of a “slide” transition from page to page is used, without the need to load pages every time you switch. It should be noted that the appearance of the page and the product range of the company are presented in two different versions - “Work” and “Home”. I think it makes no sense to dwell in detail on the differences between these options; anyone who is interested in the new version of the corporation's website 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. I personally like 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 site developers tried to stylize the resource under the interface of other software products of the corporation, including Windows Phone 7, Windows Media Center software, software for Zune or Xbox 360.

The company announced its intention to update its corporate website several 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 site of the software giant deserves a positive assessment. It would be interesting to know the opinions of those who are professionally engaged in the development of websites, web design and other things.
Yes, there is still an opportunity to switch the old and new interfaces of the site, but soon, as mentioned above, the test version of the Metro UI will become the main one. It seems that the site of the corporation will only benefit from this.
