Watching Windows Live, enhancing Messenger, chatting with friends :)
Today Microsoft unvealed its new format for the MSN.com homepage in a public preview.
What are the most interesting changes?
- First of all, the new MSN is lighter. All this stuffed, bloated site is gone.
- A new, simplified MSN butterfly logo has been introduced, trademarked on October 12.
- Easy pastel colors highlight the topic areas of the site.
- A prominent Bing search bar has been embedded on top.
- There is a local version of the site with information around your city/region (see photo below).
- You have a number indicator how many unread mail you got in your Hotmail, right on the top.
- Widgets for Hotmail, Windows Live, Facebook and Twitter give you fast access to your social networks, with a single mouse click. Of course, Facebook and Twitter are accessed with their respective authentication flows (Facebook Connect and Twitter OAuth).
In my opinion, MSN is now a worthy homepage, with info you want and access to stuff you need. What do you think?

I hate the preview of the new MSN homepage and it is only on my computer at work. My home computer still has the old page which I prefer. How can I change back?

I agree. I want the old, colorful homepage back. Does anyone know how?

I agree. I disliked this change so much that I sent them some feedback. Why can’t we have a choice? Please give us OLD BLUE BACK!
