The latest version of home page from Microsoft is being tested by the company where the line up of services and products will be changed completely depending on your status, whether at home or work. Microsoft has planned a new custom-tailored site, though such idea is not revolutionary, the company has managed to make it more attractive & creative by adopting fresh ideas and utilizing the web-based variant of Microsoft’s Metro. The home page will have a feature of page slide where in the pages can be glided from side-to-side rather than moving the pages by scrolling downward or by reloading the pages. This feature can also be seen in the smartphone i.e. Windows Phone7, the surface computer which is recently refreshed along with other products of Microsoft such as Xbox 360, Zune, and Media Centre of Windows etc. the users are also provided with an option to shift between these two versions in the site and for this the users has to click a tab that is present on the right side at the top of the page. Bye clicking the same tab again, you can see that the version toggles back.

As per a post in the Tech Flash blog, this updated software version finally goes around to appending the latest tagline of the Microsoft Inc., i.e. Be What’s Next, and this was leaked in the month of June, last year.  This was secretly revealed in the Global Exchange Event which was only for the employees of the company. This was officially released through a video advertising, last weekend on the event of Golden Globe prizes. This new tag line shows the great flexibility offered by the company between its various software products. This new look of the site is being tested currently by the company, Microsoft, in the form of limited preview.

This design is said to be a brilliant and attractive one, by the Microsoft Inc. Microsoft says that this new design of the site will supersede the senescent looks of the current homepage of Microsoft. This new home page design of Microsoft is surely an inspiration of the Metro UI pattern of the company. This Metro UI design is being used by both Zune and Windows Phone7. Now the software colossus is finessing the bets that the customers will appreciate its efficient and stylish look in web.
