More red UI!

After years of being blue, Soma announced that MSDN has finally gone red.

Everyone knows how much I absolutely love a red UI so this is a fantastic upgrade in my mind. Windows Vista went red earlier this year, MSDN goes red now and I expect Office will give up their blue to start sporting a nice red ribbon with their next service pack.

If anyone asks, just tell them that the WiX toolset was setting this "red" trend waaaay back when.  That's right, we were the trend setters for all this 2008 "red is the new black" back in 1999.

 

PS: Yes, I am joking. <smile/>

I think George Lucas got the jump on the Red theme when red became the icon of the dark side :)

This is a lovely example of a troll post.

A more interesting discussion would have been to talk about how MSDN and TechNet are now running on Hyper-V VMs.

Anon, I really was just trying to be funny. Daniel Lee got the tone in his comment above. <smile/>
