The MSN Homepage is out with a new, streamlined and less cluttered look. While marking another milestone in the history, the MSN team has finally succeeded in making a page that is easier to navigate and is filled with services that web users need on daily basis. You can now get information about online videos, sports, lifestyle, news, entertainment and Bing search experience all-together on the MSN Homepage.
The Bing is integrated in all the key areas of the page like travel, shopping, local and for highlighting hot topics, people or trend. If you are looking for detailed local information, it will be available on the new MSN local Edition, the only local online source with a combination of Bing search and real-time community news. The information here is grouped on the basis of ZIP code.
The new MSN homepage also gives you the freedom to in contact with your friends on social networking sites like Twitter, Windows Live and Facebook.
The preview of the new MSN homepage will start rolling out on November, 2009 and it will be available to more than 100 million U.S. customers only by early 2010.
The MSN team is also encouraging people to try out the newest addition and give feedback.

I hate the new look….Call me old fashion..but I like the old version better….I guess I am going to make google my homepage.
Here is fix although it will probably only last as long as the old page is still running. You are being steered to the new site via a cookie. Block the cookie and the old page comes back. TOOLS>Internet Options>Privacy tab> Move slider to Block all cookies. Then go to TOOL>Delete browsing history>Make sure cookies is checked and click the delete button. Close IE and then reopen it. The old page is back. You are welcome.
If this is what we are going to have to accept eventually – I'll be looking for a new home page too!
I absolutely hate it!
I hate it., especially the contrast and it's way too spread out. I'll switch to something else if I can't find a way to get the old msn page back.
Wait another year, and we'll get an upgrade that looks like the old page. This way MSN doesn't have to admit they screwed up.
I switched over to my Firefox browser instead of I.E. and the old blue page is still up, for now at least.
The new MSN homepage is horrible!! Please bring back the old version, I HATE this one!!!!!!!
What survey?? I never saw one and given the choice I would have chosen the old version over the new one. The page is a mess and I will change my home page if I can't switch back to the old version! How about sending out a survey now???!!!!!
I hate the new page and their attitude. I don't hate change, just THIS change. Like another post said, it burns my eyes. So if I can't get the old page back I will find a new home page. Yahoo here I come!
Let MSN know how you really feel. (not that they care) There is a "feedback" button on the very bottom of the new MSN page that brings up an opinion survey.
I love the new page. It loads fast and I can see it on my phone. Face book and twitter are right their fully integrated.
All you old people need to get with the times. My Dad curses everytime he sees the preview. His tantrums are just like a lil baby in the check out line. Difference is babies spend more time being cute,,,you old crabby guys aint that cute.
Your daddy should take away that phone, but HE probably fears the tantrum that ensue…
It is terrible and Bing sucks big time and needs to go!!! Iam going to use a different home page.
The new page is just wrong. I've gone to Google and Yahoo!!!!!
All of the above can't be wrong! This new layout/set-up SUCKS!!!!! I used Yahoo until they forced a n infantile, goofy page on me. My wife recommended MSN, and I was happy…till now. I'm going elsewhere until you get rid of this incoherent bullshit page.
This new homepage it TERRIBLE! I can no longer easily see news highlights…and the format sucks!
Change it back to the old version!
LISTEN TO THE USERS THE NEW MSN HOME PAGE SUCKS HAD MSN FOR 10 YEARS AND WAS HAPPY . NOW SOME IDIOT HAD NOTHING TO DO AND SCRWED IT UP. WANT THE OLD ONE BACK
Can someone explain why one day I have the old MSN homepage than next day it's the NEW MSN page than the next day it back to the old one???
how do i opt out of this msn preview page i hate it help
How can we get the old home page back? If I don't find a way to do that I will be leaving. anyone have any suggestions for new home pages?
I hate the new msn home page. I am now switching to another home page.
The new design is HORRIBLE. It isn't easier to use and it just plain ugly.
I was one of the “test cases” for the new MSN homepage last fall and couldn;t stand it. I was thrilled on December 1st when I turned on my computer and it had gone back to the old familiar blue MSN homepage. Today I’m now back with this ridiculous new homepage. As consumers what ever happened to being given the option of choice for what we wish to have in our homes and lives?
HATE IT, IF IT'S NOT BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.
MSN refuses to reply. I hate the new msn/preview and I have told them so. What I have ever done to them except pay for their service? I'm using MSN premium services. I may not only switch my homepage, I'm may switch my internet provider. Their new homepage sucks, BING sucks big time. They refuse to give people what they want or at least allow them an option, they are going to lose out big time.
I found something that works, but I don't know for how long. If you are running MSN premium services and still have the install application "msnsusii" , run the application. Since MSN is already installed, a page is displayed with a next button, click it, the page disappears and the application closes. I then opened my browser and the ols MSN homepage was back. Close all of your browsers before running this application. I don't know how long this may work for, but it works for now.
Please keep the old MSN page. The only thing MSN should change is the employment status of the developers and management that thought the new page was a good idea (and obviously fabricated their research and survey data to support it). If the aim was to make a page that works better on smart phones, then make a separate page specifically for that. If the new page becomes permanent, I too will be joining the mass exodus.
By the way MS, HOW MUCH DID YOU GUYS PAY ALL WEBSITES TO DO THE GLOWING WRITEUPS??? The story is the same everywhere. Wonderful writeup praising the new page, sometimes followed by a couple very positive comments, then followed by a flood of REAL comments from users who despise the it! I rarely post comments on anything, but the new page is SO bad felt I had to. Please wake up MS and keep the original MSN page!
This new MSN homepage is really bad, and I hate it when it shows up. It's NO GOOD and SO SLOW to navagate. Leave the old MSN homepage on, and get rid of this useless new MSN Homepage. When this new homepage shows up, I just turn-off my computer. Don't want to bother with this new-SLOW homepage at all!
Yes, the the MSN format has a "less cluttered look" and that is because one has to do so much additional scrolling to find anything. I HATE it, too, and have switched to Yahoo.
Question: Why does my sister and mother still have the old format??? I want it back!!!
I do believe i cannot get the old home page back. Please send me some dark glasses this white is horrible. Why in the heck did you ruin a good thing MSN OLD home page rocked. Is there anyway to format back to the old way ???????
JUST SOMETHING NEW TO DEAL WITH…..WHAT IS GOING ON ……THE OLD PAGE WAS EASY…..THE NEW PAGE IS IMPOSSIBLE…..AM NOW LOOKING FOR ANOTHER…….WHY CAN'T THEY GIVE YOU THE CHOICE OF KEEPING THE OLD OR ACCEPTING THE NEW ……….GOING TO SIGN ON TO FOX………..MSN.COM NOW SUCKS…………
ABSOLUTELY HATE IT!
If I wanted the less "cluttered" Yahoo…I would use Yahoo, or the really less "Cluttered" Google…then I would choose Google. When I want Clutter…which is what I chose as my Homepage…that's when I go to MSN. Not Anymore….Time for a NEW more "cluttered" Home page. Foxsports.com anyone?
I hate the new local edition MSN homepage too. How do I change back to the way it used to be?
Go back to the original home page hate this new one
Hate the new page— bring back the old– or Yahoo here I come.
I hate the new MSN home page, I hate bing and I am changing my home page to something else. I don't want someone telling me what sites to view (bing) now I can't find a damn thing. Change it back or don't, it doesn't matter. OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate the new home page that popped up on my computer today! The white is too harsh on my eyes and I can't seem to customize it like the other one! I don't like bing either and have never used it except the first couple days trying to "like it" but google is so much better!
I guess I'll not only be using google for my searches, but my homepage too. I really liked the old one, been using it for years. Well if change is good then that's exactly what I'll be doing. Changing from MSN and setting my homepage to google. Thanks for ruining a good thing!
Horrible, horrible–and Bing is horrible, too. I am changing to another site.
Guess have to use anothe homepage as mentioned above
I'm guessing that the people behind this change will keep trying to push the new MSN page, or some variant of it, because for them to switch back would be like admitting to their superiors that they made a huge mistake, wasted tons of money, and all have jobs that are unnecessary. Make sure to click that feedback link at the bottom of the new MSN page and send them your opinion. Also, post your opinion on the MSN blog (http://msnblog.msn.com/blogpost.aspx?post=1351217… Maybe if the higher-ups at MS hear from enough of us and realize that this embarrassment ranks up there with New Coke, the Pontiac Aztek, and Cutthroat Island, they may just give us our old page back…
I HATE the new msn web page. I can still look at the old web page at work. This new page is not as easy to use. I liked getting the headline news, sports, and money on the right hand side of the page. They should give you the option of the old page or the new one. If they keep the new format then I will have to make a different web site my new home page. I have had msn as my home page ever since they started. It would be a shame if I had to remove msn as my home page.
if i cant have my old msn home page then i will go to vahoo i want to stay but not with this junk let us have it back or be a long
I Hate the new msn page bring back the old one it 's a lot better
AWFUL!!!!!!!!! How much, exactly, did 'Bing' shove down your throats to allow this?
Give 'Bling' their blood money back, and get your users back!!!!

AWFUL!!!!!!! How much did 'Bling' cram down your throats for you to allow such a thing? You guys at MSN give them their blood money back and get your customers back… and if 'Bling is YOUR thing–ABANDON IT!!! It is WORTHLESS!!!
I don't know why my comments keep getting deleted…so I'll use the kiss method–Bing sucks…nice and sweet…
Absolutely HATE the new homepage. My computer did revert back to the old homepage for awhile, which was FANTASTIC!!!!!! Unfortunately, it is back to the hard to read, hard to follow, new homepage etc. I find it miserable to use and I am looking at other options.
SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!! WANT THE OLD MSN BACK!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS TERRIBLE
New MSN Preview SUCKS!!!
