Microsoft has made some significant changes to their Download center website. Microsoft quietly working on Download center website since 2003. After six years later they come up with a completely new download website. New download website does not look like other website including MSDN and TechNet. Microsoft Download Center website also have different colour scheme as compare to Windows or Windows Live Website. Microsoft tweak the home page of download center website by adding categories and banners here and there.
New version of Microsoft download center website is centred as compared to other Microsoft websites, its much cleaner also. Top banner something looks like the top banner present in Microsoft home page. Links that are present in old download center page are moved to dropdown menus. Microsoft added a A to Z menu that allow users to filter download items as per the initials and mot importantly this menu is powered by Microsoft Silverlight Technology. New website performance is very good too, so this is just not the visual changes they have made but they also worked on the performance of download center website also.
Microsoft has not made any changes to download pages of download center website. May be Microsoft is planning to rollout new internal download pages in some time.
Microsoft will be rolling out new website by the end of this weekend.
