UK users will see the new-look homepage in 2010.
Microsoft's web portal MSN.com has been given an extensive revamp for the first time in almost ten years.
New features include fewer links, a column dedicated to social networking sites Twitter and Facebook, and a large search engine box.
The company hopes the new look will drive more traffic to its Bing search engine, launched as a competitor to Google in June 2009.
