technical solutions and commentary

Looks like MSN is readying a new home page. It looks like only a layout concept at this point, the functionaility is not working yet for the most part. You can see it here http://x.beta.msn.com/. While it looks a bit cleaner than the current MSN home page, its not a nice as the experimental www.start.com page. Actually it’s starting to look more like yahoo.com with the new header bar with the topic categories and the ayout of the areas.

I would like to see them get to get to a “clean” feeling page like www.google.com/ig has, or even the start.com page.
