This is an incredibly exciting year for Microsoft as we prepare to release new versions of nearly all of our products. From Windows 8 to Windows Phone 8 to Xbox services to the next version of Office, you will see a common look and feel across these products providing a familiar and seamless experience on PCs, phones, tablets and TVs. This wave of new releases is not only a reimagining of our most popular products, but also represents a new era for Microsoft, so our logo should evolve to visually accentuate this new beginning.&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/b\/microsoft_blog\/archive\/2012\/08\/23\/microsoft-unveils-a-new-look.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Official Microsoft Blog
