I woke up to it after software update. Gee, talk about nightmare! All the columns are gone and its so industrial. Who said it was a streamlined appearance?!! I was surprised to see no colour change to the currently green music note after its been two shapes of blue, as well as pink, purple and green. The only plus I see is that the visualisers work better on my below specification machines :)

Updated here too.

After the previous two posts I read some other reviews who complained mainly about the missing rounded corners.

I have to say it all seems like a step in the right direction, not that it is much of a departure anyway. There is more "real estate" which suits me fine and the search refinements are good and don't break anything already in place (unlike spotlight!).

I too think my visualisers work better but that may be like a car running better after a polish ;)

The appearance has gone from brushed metal to (dare I say) sandblasted metal.
I don't miss the corners, I never used them anyway ;)

I like it.

Have fun
