Okay, so it's not hip to say anything positive about Microsoft, but I really think Start.com, their prototype response to Google's start page, is actually pretty darn nifty. It lets you customize RSS feedbacks, add custom RSS feeds, arrange the layout how you want it. It saves your searches and whatnots. And it is surprisingly uncluttered for Microsoft, a company who's typical usability design is to start with a logo that takes up a third of your screen and let the widgets spawn like tribbles from there. Now if it only supported Firefox (the columns screw up for me there).
Besides, I like anything that lets me access my Slashdot news minus most of the typical neanderthal mentality that runs rampant in /.'s threads. Read too many slashdot comments, especially in articles pertaining to females, and you, too, can lose all faith in humanity.
Now if it only let me intigrate my flist into the design, I could cut my email/web run time in half....or not.
In any case, it's pretty nifty. Check it out.
