I like it. The new layouts are pretty cool, but the sounds are what I like the most... I might actually keep them on this time... It is a little slow, but it's not too bad for me at least.

I like it much better than the old Steam! The Info boxes for games are especially nice.

However, I do seem to have a problem with text being cut off, hm....

I think it's pretty bad looking. The old design was also pretty ugly, but plain and therefore never really offended me. It's one of those cases where, because they tried to make it look nice and I think it's ugly, it looks even uglier. I also don't like them getting rid of the mini-games list. I did a quick check on memory usage- its roughly the same as before, but it's a few mb higher than if you are using the steam overlay on a non-steam game. Since I think it's ugly and it's buggy and slow (it's a beta, I know), I'm reverting to the old one.

Love the layout, hate the speed (or lack of). Then again, it is a beta. Thankfully removing it is easy. steam -clearbeta

Yeah we have HL2 achievements but you can't view them, it takes you straight to your profile.

I participated in the beta and I had to restart Steam. When I try to start up Steam, it now says: "Cannot contact the Steam network, please try later". I would hate to reinstall Steam; I have over 20 games installed...

You could move your steamapps folder to somewhere else on your hdd, uninstall, then reinstall, and copy them back.

Its much slower, It started redownloading 2 of my games, and it does not have icons.

I don't like it.

Don't jump to conclusions people, learn to use it first.

For the guy that didn't want to see uninstalled games, why do you want see them? just select favorites or installed, not all games, as for your problem try seeing the games in "list" not details or even grid.

I personally love it, the speed is just overwhelming compared to the old Steam, it's like it doesn't even use IE anymore :).

not too special

Yeah...sure.

common fix: go to http://store.steampowered.com/uiupdate/ through a web browser and click "Click to take part in beta". Accept application use of Steam, and it should work after.

A couple of people on the Steam forums had to re-download MW2. Just a heads up.

ROFL why am I not surprised that MW2 would cause problems :D

I guess I didn't have to say it then....:P

Yeah I have the same problem Too I guess I am returning to the Old Steam until it goes Final !!
