It's much shinier. I'd be tempted to call it the Vista edition. And fully customisable.
- Could a customised BBC homepage push BBC News off my homepage?
- Did they nick all their ideas off Facebook?
- Is blue the new red?
- Have they stopped using tables?
- Whatever will those trust-fund madmen think of next?
Full review when I've had the chance to mess with it.
Initial impression - I love that the second hand on the clock on the top right wobbles slightly as it ticks... Like a real clock!

Edit: 5 mins of messing about, I now can't get back to the international version after having set my location for weather reports. Maybe I want weather from elsewhere? Or maybe I just like world news...
Edit 2: Strike that. I can localise the weather to anywhere. But I still can't get back to the international version. This is important because I just can't shift the dude with dreads. Huge image dominating the page. Go away!
Edit 3: Problem solved. Used the old website to change the settings of the new site. Now my view is unobscured by giant cross-promotional banners. Super.
