Coke also did consumer studies before introducing the New Coke. Mass consumer dissatisfaction made them revert to the old Coke. I know many people who can't get used to the Office 2007 ribbon. An option to use the older interface would make everybody's life easier. Like MS did with Office 6 when they included the Word Perfect keyboard shortcuts.Yahoo gives you a choice between the old and new interfaces which is great for netbook users. One problem is that MS doesn't feel they have to try as hard to ease their own users into the new system as they did when trying to win people away from a competitor.

The new MSN home page is terribly done. My 14 year old son could have designed this in computer class! What a joke! For MSN to not give a choice for this is ridiculous......Bring back the old msn home page and tweek it a little at a time if the designers have to justify their jobs!
Unhappy,

Oh, I see, so we've all been 'randomly' selected to be inconvenienced with this lousy 'new look'. I can't find the articles that I need to find, as quickly as I could before AND I NEED THIS FOR W.O.R.K. Folks, we are not getting our old pages back- I've asked 3 times now in the last week and a half, so get it out of your head.
I loathe Yahoo and AOL and now, MSN is no better. We got our 'old' home page back at home, but perhaps only because we are MSN paying subscribers there. If you're using it for free, like we do at work, I think we are stuck.
As of today, MSN does not get to use my opinion and track my usage. I'm changing to another news oriented home page and I'll come back to MSN when they come back to their senses. If you REALLY want to protest this, YOU MUST NOT USE THE PAGE-- AT ALL.
No activity on the page means no feedback. No feedback means that people have abandoned the page and maybe then they will recognize the loss of millions of users and connect the dots, so to speak.
Not all 'change' works out for the better...And, that's all I'll say about that.

When I clicked on Safety and went to in-private
browsing, I got the old homepage back. Maybe
for just a little while, but at least I can
now enjoy the old style. Hope it works for you.

The New version is taking me a while to get used to, but what I miss is the weather option. The last one gave us four cities to choose from and did a rotating cycle and this one only gives you one option. Otherwise, I think it's not so bad, but another change to get used to.

They should fire the entire team who made the new MSN. Where's all information that I had on the front page, like my WX list! Could they have made fonts be any lighter. I can hardly wait to try to read them in a coffee house on a 10" screen. Very Very ugley!
Hate it! These are the same people who bought us Vista. To bad Apple didn't put them out of business by making their prices realistic. They missed a great opportunity.

I want my old home page back. This new page is ugly, and can't live up to the old MSN home page. What happened to the old MSN videos? There was such a great selection. The new doesn't compare. I will be shopping around for something better.
