It looks cool. Honestly I don't care as much about the new UI, what I'm positively pumped about is the Netflix integration. My wife and I are movie-holics and being able to have anything from their Instant section at the press of a button is Sloth-a-licious :)
The older one was better to sell to new customers on the basis it was easy to set up but it did need updating, with a nice balance of new features and the older dashboard features mixed in (sometimes moved ¬¬) think all in all was the best way they could have upgraded the service. Im liking the streaming wile you watch movies.
