Microsoft to Revamp MSN for Windows 8 Era

New portal will feature tablet-friendly layout

Microsoft is looking to transform the online advertising business with the launch of its Windows 8 software (along with a new version of Internet Explorer). So it stands to reason that its signature Web property, MSN, would follow suit.

Today, the company will unveil plans for a drastic makeover of MSN, one that will look to reimagine the portal for a drastically different Internet—an Internet that embraces a more "natural" user interface. In essence, MSN will look, feel and navigate a lot like Windows 8, which is centered on user-friendly live tiles rather than classic Windows and brower-based Web pages.
