MSDN taking things too far with Win8?

Ignoring the issues of Windows 8's improvements, how well Metro wil be accepted by the market, etc. etc. it seems hard to imagine that Windows 8 is going to replace everything already in place overnight.

The destruction began a ways back when Win7 was new. The washed-out pastel colors of Windows 7 seemed to have inspired washed-out pastel colors on new MSDN pages as well. I suspect that is an artifact of the use of mega-resolution displays running at 200 dpi or something, where such pages might remain legible.

Now we are increasingly treated to such gems as:

I guess things are getting bad over there at Microsoft, with marketing types even running the show for developer documentation.


Can we expect VBForums to follow suit? Will the coming site refresh bring a similar white-space-drunk layout with a fine-stroke font and low contrast colors ensuring similar low information density and general obstacles to legibility?

VB6 is treated as "legacy" here as it is for obvious reasons. I guess to follow Microsoft's lead most non-Metro VB.Net and C# are legacy now as well.
