MSDN updated: new cover, new versions …

October 29, 2009

Lately, MSDN site upgraded to a new skin. 😉

I realized that 2 brand new different versions have been pblished for everyone: lightweight, scriptfree.
Here are some sample, the ?? operator:

Every interface has a proper menu to switch to others:

  • Classic (window’s bottom right) 
    msdn_cl_switch
  • Lightweight (window’s bottom right)
    msdn_lw_switch
  • Scriptfree (window’s top right) 
    msdn_sf_switch

I have been using lightweight version since this post by Raffaele Rialdi. 😉
