New MSN homepage

Microsoft has relaunched its flagship portal MSN globally, with the company preparing for the separation of its Australian MSN and Ninemsn websites.

The new MSN website (which can be seen in preview here) will be a separate entity to Ninemsn and rely entirely on third parties for content, with the official launch due in the coming months.

From launch it will be the default homepage and log out page for Australians using Microsoft products including Windows 8, Internet Explorer, Skype and Outlook, a change is expected to dramatically impact the current traffic going to Ninemsn which had been at around third in the Nielsen Online Ratings.
