MSDN undergoes update

Microsoft has just updated its developer’s net­work (MSDN). The changes are vis­i­ble in terms of user inter­face. It has been made more eas­ier to nav­i­gate, and the search sys­tem has been improved.

These improve­ments are based largely on feed­back from cus­tomers and users (well, at least Microsoft is listening).

The search sys­tem now have more rel­e­vant results, and it now dishes out results related to prod­ucts and tech­nolo­gies you are using. The user can also limit search results to par­tic­u­lar con­tent, such as down­loads or the MSDN library. The search sys­tem also now sup­ports other lan­guages. It is also based on Win­dows Live technologies.

The nav­i­ga­tion as men­tioned ear­lier, has been improved. It is much more sim­pler look­ing, and eas­ier to use (it is quite sim­i­lar to the folder nav­i­ga­tion sys­tem in the address bar in Win­dows Vista). Although the nav­i­ga­tion sys­tem has under­gone large changes, the con­tent is not mod­i­fied too much, so the lay­out should still be famil­iar to most expe­ri­enced users.
