Lare2 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I like the design, but seems to respond slower on Firefox than the previous one. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/521741-microsoftcom/page/3/#findComment-588142605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toology Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Wow just five errors to HTML 4.01 Trans. That's a record for Microsoft! http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&am...%2Fdefault.aspxCSS is awful as usual though... http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validat...%2Fdefault.aspx I like the design a lot. :cry: Does it look good? Yes (in my opinion). Does it work? Yes (at least for me and bugs can always be fixed). Could I and the majority of people possibly care any less of it doesn't pass? Impossible; we're at the pinnacle of "we really don't care." Even if these standards were established in part by Microsoft, I really can't convey the immensity of how much I don't care. There are pages that are standards compliant but are aesthetically disappointing. If a page comes along that doesn't pass the standards but is visually pleasing and functional then why get your nerdy e-panties in a bunch?

halcyoncmdr Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 There are pages that are standards compliant but are aesthetically disappointing. If a page comes along that doesn't pass the standards but is visually pleasing and functional then why get your nerdy e-panties in a bunch? Because it is completely hypocritical and ****es me off at least. If you are saying, "Oh everyone needs to follow these standards to make sure that every website works correctly in any browser", then you should also follow those standards and quit making a site that only displays with proprietary plugins and crappy CSS. Granted their HTML is much better than normal, and that is an improvement. (Y) It's like how I don't want a friend to borrow $20 and then when I need it they aren't even willing to pay me back from the money I loaned them, nonetheless any new money. It's just not right. The standards are there for a reason and M$ insists on ignoring them. It is more the principal of the matter than the fact that it is M$ doing it. I know that most websites don't pass the standards, but most of then should if only to make sure that everyone can see the site correctly.

PyX Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hey, kinda nice site. The menus are just exceptionnally slow in Safari and Firefox.. unless there is an action to wait a couple of seconds before activaging the menu... It's not "awesome", but still. They should have hired me to re-do the whole site for 10 millions :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/521741-microsoftcom/page/3/#findComment-588143539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
