As Microsoft prepares for the juggernaut marketing effort that will accompany the launch of Windows Vista, Windows Live and Office 2007, they've popped up a preview of the new redesigned Microsoft.com. 

Unfortunately, if you use Firefox, you shouldn't bother clicking on that link since all you'll see is the old Microsoft site.  But, if you're visiting us through IE 6 or 7, then go for it and check it out.  The new site features a look more in-line with the Live sites.  Essentially, it's the old Microsoft site with the nav bar flipped to the right and changed a bit, and some new colors.

But you can't see it on Firefox.  And it's not just a matter of parts of the pages erroring out, it just doesn't exist.

That is a great example of how stuborn Microsoft is. So what if its ONLY a preview, anyone can choose what to use for surfing the net, Microsoft or not.

What's with the navigation on the right side? It seems awkward to me.


Having navigational links on the right side is better.
* The links are closer to the scrollbar of the page. The main content is allowed to start at the top left corner of the page so your eyes don't have to jump over the navigation bar to read the content.


btw, I'd wait to judge MS until the site is actually made official.
