Closest first, by how much each site’s offer resembles Microsoft’s. Trackers are counted the same way as above. Highlighted technologies are ones Microsoft uses too. Votes and comments come from visitors and don’t change the order.

04 · History

What Microsoft changed on its homepage, prices, imprint and open positions, and in the tools it uses. Each change happened between the two dates: the last check that saw the old state and the one that found the new.

1. ~ Page Homepage · Nov 6 – 11, 2026 New headings: Save on Microsoft 365​ · PC power, tablet portability · Turn up the joy · See you on the Frontier Dropped headings: Surface Laptop, 13.8-inch (8th Edition) · Go further with Copilot · $ • • • • • • on select Surface Pro, 13-inch (12th Edition) · See you in the work

How we measure

Alternatives are matched by what sites actually offer, from their homepages, Wikidata and a summary by Claude, in any language. Trackers and the rest of the stack come from the homepage’s code and DNS records.
