While inspecting the new Microsoft site source, I observed that the "class" attribute value of the "html" tag when seen in Page Source the value given by Tools/Web Developer/Inspect tool. Value with the tool indicates class="en-in js no-flexbox canvas no-touch backgroundsize cssanimations csstransforms csstransforms3d csstransitions fontface video audio svg inlinesvg" while that is given in Page Source is class="en-us no-js" The question is why different values are shown?

Inspector is showing you the source after it's been modified by Javascript and such.

To see the same thing in the source viewer, press Ctrl+A to select everything on the page, then right-click the selection and choose View Selection Source.
