MSN Search - From A UI Perspective

An anonymous reader writes "The user interface community has also started poking and prodding away at the latest iteration of MSN search and has discovered some interesting findings including: XHTML strict, CSS for layout and the death of IE 5 support. You can also read first-hand MSN designer insight into the design process as well."

Slashdotters at it again

You can also read first-hand MSN designer insight into the design process as well.

Not that I expect anything even close to an objective review of that process from Slashdot readers.

I expect a great deal of criticism that is well-written but doesn't actually have much substance.

I'm sick of linux fanatics

Tell me - why do you think they are lying. Yes, their operating system is insecure. Yes, it's slow and buggy and difficult to administrate as hell. Yes, they don't adhere to standards and change their supported features often.

But how is this different from Linux?

(and BSD is NOT linux.)

SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT MSN SEARCH!!!

I'm posting it here because it's the first comment that is rendered with my settings. I've set my browser's (Firefox, duh) homepage to Slashdot two days ago for kicks.

For the past two days when I start my browser (10+ times per hour, for 8+ hours a day easy, seriously) it seems that I'm reading about some inane aspect of a search engine that I will never use. I've just checked my Firefox search box, there isn't even an MSN option.

Please... we don't care. In two weeks they will say that they got over a billion hits and performed billions of searches - however most of the traffic is coming from this shameless promotion.

We hate Microsoft right?

Stop posting this rubbish!
