Looks like Microsoft is the latest to be guilty of a failed redesign. Their current homepage iteration sports a table-based layout circa 1998.They’ve also released a beta preview of their new new homepage – which you can view only with Internet Explorer. (When I attempted to view the preview site in Firefox, I was simply redirected to the existing homepage.) The preview site appears to use semantic markup, although the source has been compacted down to only a few lines, so it’s nearly impossible to read. And with no Web Developer extension in IE, outlining all block-level elements (or all table cells) isn’t an option.
Funny that with the IE 7 team touting how standards-compliant the new browser will be, the Microsoft homepage flies in the face of standards. (Is that for-real ironic or only Alanis ironic?) Having worked for a few large corporations, I understand that one department’s products can appear to be the antithesis of another department’s, with the worker bees in both departments being none the wiser. Still, this is pretty egregious, given the emphasis Microsoft claims to be placing on web standards.
Although… we’ve been there before with Microsoft, haven’t we? Perhaps these things are cyclical.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
