A sneak peek at Version 1.0 of Microsoft 10

Posted By: Jeff Sandquist | Jul 5th, 2006 @ 6:07 PM

The long awaited update for 10 is almost ready. We're in the final march towards the launch of what we’re calling 10 - Version 1.0. There is a lot of stuff in this release so we thought we'd release some screenshots to give you a sneak peek.  

 

10 Version 1.0 - Homepage



10 Version 1.0 - Entry View

So what's in it? 

Shiny new logo, email subscriptions to threads (finally), homepage with an embedded media player (that works) and a much cleaner / easier to use experience.  We didn't show the forums in the screenshots but yes we're finally bringing them online in this release as well.  They will have an experience very similar to the items shown in the entry view screenshot.

If you look closely you'll notice that our new logo was created by Maxwell.  Maxwell is the winner of our custom PC logo contest.  Thanks Maxwell!

Note there is no big launch party planned for this design refresh launch (like the other folks).  We are thinking about heading over to Jeff's house for some beer and paper plate pizza and then will be hard at work getting this code working with 10's sister site Channel 9. 

We can't wait to get this out the door!

I love the new layout. Its much more sleaker and you can see all the information you need in one place and organized very well. I like the three column layout especially.

I do think, howerver, that there's alot of white though. Not enough color.

Well, it's certainly cleaner and much more user friendly.  While I like the new look, I'm kinda undecided about the logo.  I happen to like the current logo as is, but that's just me.  Max certainly deserves the custom PC; bear in mind ,however, that you have given me that much less incentive to return to PCs.  Guess I'll be sticking with my trustworthy Macs for a while still.

Man, I slaved for weeks trying to create an entry for that awesome gaming computer and you go and change the logo?!
I'm just kidding, I'm only creative with words, not pictures. I like the new logo.

Hey!...Adam and I never replied to my original post in that entry.  FAKE! FAKE!  How dare you impersonate me.  Just kidding. Wink  Glad to see I provide some useful feedback, even if it really isn't from me.
