To judge by this page, Microsoft's vision of Modern Design involves very little meaningful content on the page as you load it, sideways scrolling (which interferes with the Mac Back/Forward gesture), and tiny text in a serif font.

Something like the way GDS Design Principles is laid out strikes me as a modern approach. Clearly written, responsive, and designed for the web.

This, on the other hand, is a complete turd. Obscure, only readable on a desktop, and has walls of text. Reminds me of the full flash sites of the early 00s.
