I ran across the Microsoft.com Design pages via Shawn Burke’s blog. He has a post gloating the use of his teams’ most excellent ASP.net AJAX Control Toolkit on the site (If you haven’t given the toolkit a spin, you definitely should!).
When I reached the toolbox section of the design site, I was a bit surprised. It presents tools traditionally thought of as development centric, ASP.net and ASP.net AJAX, as design tools*. An interesting perspective indeed.
*Side note: Why doesn’t the URL http://microsoft.com/design/toolbox work? If WPF or whatever tool they used to build the website uses Master.aspx as the default page, why isn’t IIS configured to use it as the default? Hmmm… I must be missing something.
