Goodbye old friend.. you've served us well.

“Seriously?  You’re changing the logo after all these years?”

Yessiree.  And I agree that it’s time for the change.  Microsoft is entering a huge new time in its history.  The new wave of releases and product areas (Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows Azure, XBOX, Microsoft Surface, etc.) really demands a shift in our identity; and the public face of the company in the form of a logo is a big part of that.

Check out this slick video showing off today’s new branding of our product lines..
