Answer 2

I posed the same question and got a lot of hate for it. The winning answer is the Metro UI Pack. It does a lot of what they do in Azure, but you'd have to implement the rest yourself.

I was told by a friend works for DPE at MS that the classic portal was built on a custom framework that wouldn't go out. I was pointed to METRO UI PACK as the best way to emulate that look and feel. Now the new portal that is in beta is some sort of SPA framework but is obscured regarding its basis or origin. – Specialty

Answer 3

The CSS is probably custom, but the portal uses a few open source libraries for the javascript part:

• jquery-1.7.1
• jquery-ui
• jsObservable
• JsRender
• JsViews
• jquery.event.drag

It's basically a cascade of flexboxes.
