Not so cool over there, no choice anyway.

When does it come out?

Comments seem to be working now :)

i think there's some cross-browser improvements that could be made..some sections don't work very well in anything but IE. I certainly wouldn't call the pages ugly. I find its way easier to find information now than it was 3-4+ years ago, which is more important than anything else in my opinion. That said, I don't see why you can't have your cake and eat it too...If you have the resources, why not make it look great, be usable, gecko friendly, speedy and everything else. All of this is probably my way of saying 'yes, they could be better' without sounding superficial...

Shame not everything works with Firefox - otherwise I think the site looks OK.

If you make it look half as good as your blog we will be happy.

Just spell things correctly on the current site...
ie
Paul is currently an ASP.NET MVP and workds as a technical

Don't make it pretty, sexy, jazzy or happening.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I know when I walk through the office and see eye-catching pages up on the developers' screens, most of the time its not work related.

Then again, maybe if MSDN were flashier, the goofing-off sites wouldn't seem quite as obvious.

Maybe its a peacock thing ... the colorful pages like plumage. "Look at me, I'm so valuable and productive I can surf highly obvious non-work pages and not get fired!"

Tip: if you have to surf non-work related stuff, if you SSH into your server at home and use a text-based browser in a shell, it not only looks like work to the pointy-haired types, it looks like HARD work. Oooh! Terminal black and green! Scary. ;)

I agree, I go there for the information not the prettyness, usability functionality and quality of information I think are the most important things.
