If you’re familiar with the new homepage that is available in beta, there really isn’t anything to report here. But for those that don’t know anything about the changes Microsoft’s making, now you do.

The Redmond company has begun rolling out the new MSN.com homepage, which features a more content-centric look and feel, with a more refined look and feel, much different from that of what you currently see right now.

So what’s different in this upcoming new release?

First of all, Microsoft is all over the content space, featured news is now at the top, with accompanying content as you scroll down, which is seperated by small tabs for each section. Similar to a lot of big news sites out there like foxnews.com and cnn.com. If your looking for a specific section, Microsoft changed the header to have streamlined “categories”, which are clearly visible.

Microsoft Evangelist, Mary Jo Foley pointed out that the new MSN.com web site will only be available to the U.S. for the time being, that they will be rolling out international versions of the site during the launch of the U.S. version, there is no estimated time of launch.
