I had just gotten used to the old model. And this is coming from someone who actually programs for the web. Some of the elements from the previous version are still there and largely unchanged, like the right hand and center columns. But thats basically where the similarities end. Gone is the application bar that was ever present on the bottom of the screen, and in its place is the abomination that is the new left hand column. I enjoyed being able to switch applications without going back to the main page. Whats that, I'm playing casteage, and I want to switch out to poker?? oh look, its on my bookmark bar... Now I'm tired of poker?? Onto ZooVille. Whats that, I want to hit up bejeweled blitz? I don't have it bookmarked, but its in my applications menu. Easy as eating pie to switch.
