Microsoft’s Garage platform has been making strides recently with itsVideo Breakdownproject, along withreleasing 5 apps built by internsat the company. Microsoft Garage allows employees at the company to try out new technologies, develop for competing companies and just have a go at doing something a little different.

Now, their own site has received a bit of a makeover. Before we get into it, let’s take a look at the old design:

Then the new design:

From looking at the updated design, it appears that the aim was to put the actual projects as the front-and-centre, as the featured projects are now shown at the top-left, with the latest and recently updated floating to the centre and right. They’ve also cut out the huge welcome text and placed it in the initial slider towards the top.

Throughout the design, they have added a little more padding to areas – such as the menu, which now has a gap beneath the menu item and the header background, while also improving the look of the overall font.

Let us know you think of the changes in the comments below!

Thanks to Travis for the tip!

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
