Came here to say the same thing about load time - I'm on a fast connection using Chrome and this thing will hardly load for me. I thought it was my ad blocker at first, but nope, just the site. Also tested it with Firefox and Safari and got the same thing.

EDIT: someone below said the CDN might be on the fritz, so that likely has something to do with this. it may be fixed by the time some people see these comments.

The offending resource is hosted at microsoft-int.com.

I'd bet good money that domain is "Microsoft Internal" and was never meant to go beyond staging.

I'm sure the site works perfectly in Redmond! ;-)

On top of that there is a typo:

"Intel HG Graphics"

Wow Microsoft, do you even proofread? :P

Looks like one request to 'controls.account.microsoft-int.com/me?partner=surface&market=en-us' makes whole page very slow, at least for me it waits for 20 seconds and only after it fails page continues loading.

Yeah, I noticed that blocking the microsoft-int.com domain lets the page load just fine, without the hang. (I'm using the RequestPolicy addon in Firefox.)

not only it is slow, the subpage is also completely messed on Chrome/OsX . That's not something I would expect from a company with Microsoft resources.

At one point in the page, it actually plays the old Microsoft Band video!
