The only thing that concerns me about some of those screenshots is all of the clutter of the other windows. Did I really see a menu that was four levels deep and each level had about 10 options?? Hmmmm.... Perhaps they dumped the "room" metaphor and put everything back in one place like it was with CM6000 and earlier. The reason we went to the room metaphor was because putting everything in one place was just too confusing for many users. Well, we'll see. It definitely LOOKS better than any previous version. And at least they were smart enough to show ONE screenshot with a 2D board. ;-) jm
