Microsoft has launched a new site which features beautiful HTML5 content showing in detail the number of users, apps, etc behind their many services.

I think the most amazing is 18 billion hours of Xbox Live played in 2012 or 2 billion Skype minutes are used daily.

I think its sad that the webpage they are using there powered by HTML5 is just as powerful as the Metro GUI basically..
I think they need to reinvent the wheel and have some actual users help design it, not just insiders!
