IMHO the new GUI is worse ... just as 2-dimmensional, but now the colors look even worse. I realize that there is a difference between form-factor and functionality, but come on people! How hard can it be? Many of us know. How long does it take? We know that also. I really can't go into specifics (they're so obvious) without seeming insulting. So please, PLEASE let some intern take your 2-dimmensional, flat looking product and turn it into something that at least looks worth the money. This lack of effort to create a more 3D product has gone on for way too long. - Art
