I can’t find the articles that I need to find, as quickly as I could before AND I NEED THIS FOR W.O.R.K. Oh, I see, so we’ve all been ‘randomly’ selected to be inconvenienced with this lousy ‘new look’. I can take it or leave it, so I expect as needed I’ll simply adapt.īut, as I said above, it’s all a matter of taste and that’s just me.Īnd no interface, old or new, will please everyone. It’s just another website, and its design is just another, using what are current design practices. Personally – I have no strong feelings about the change. Find another site to be your browser home page.It’s likely that the old interface will also disappear forever. If you don’t like the new look and feel of MSN, the news isn’t good. Hotmail changed its look, and then later changed to . Eventually the old Hotmail disappeared completely as became the new official interface.

Especially for a free website, the expenses of doing so simply don’t come even close to justifying it.Īnd we’ve been here before. It’s unrealistic to expect Microsoft to maintain both the old version and the new simultaneously beyond the trial/preview period. The old look of msn.com will disappear eventually. Unfortunately, having Microsoft maintain all versions of every web site forever and allowing you to choose which version you want to use is simply not an option. I realize that means nothing if you’re one of the people that don’t like it. In fact, if Microsoft has done their usability research properly – as they likely have – the number of people who like the new MSN will far outnumber the people that don’t. I’m sure that as many people will love the new msn.com look and feel as will hate it. Perhaps most of your circle of friends and contacts, but almost certainly not everyone. I disagree with your comment: “everyone” doesn’t hate it.

What’s important to some is unimportant to others. The design of a website is also a matter of taste.

The fact is that many sites must update their look and feel periodically to move to more current design standards, to look “fresh”, to learn from usability issues encountered in previous versions, and ultimately to remain competitive.Ĭhange is absolutely inevitable. Simple, really: the internet almost demands change. Important: if the “Exit the preview” item is not present, then it’s very likely that the preview period is over, and the new interface has become the interface for MSN.com. Click on the gear icon in the upper right of the MSN home page, and you’ll get a drop-down menu:Ĭlick on Exit the preview and you should end up back with the old MSN interface as it was before this most recent change. While this new look is in “preview” mode, you can go back to the old interface. As I’ll discuss in a moment, it’s extremely unlikely that changes like this can be avoided. However, I don’t want you to get your hopes up. So you do have a way to get your comments on the change back to Microsoft. Click on that, and you’ll get a “Send Feedback” form that you can fill out: Note that there is a Feedback button in the lower right. Click on Preview it today and you’ll get a little promotional pop-up telling you how wonderful the new MSN will be:Ĭlick Start Now, and you’ll switch to the new MSN look-and-feel. Notice the preview announcement banner at the top. If you visit MSN you’ll see the site’s home page looks something like this:

As of October the preview appears to be over and the change appears to be permanent. The answer might very well be “not many”.Īs I write this today, September of 2014, the changes are in “Preview” mode.

I’ll also make some guesses as to why the changes were made, and what your options might be. As I update this article for the latest round of changes, I’ll show you what’s happening.
