sounds cool. I would still love for them to open up their chat so we might be able to use it from mobile or Linux
Does it fix its memory issues? Nothing I hate more than it randomly deciding to take up an assload of RAM
Feels a little weird so far. Certainly pretty and more woopie pow bang cool to navigate... but I get that TF2 chunky map server list vibe from the whole thing.
It almost feels like a variation on the Zune UI. It is definitely sleek, but whats with the empty space at the bottom of the friends list?
Not sure I like the changes to the game list. It was easier and more straight forward to manage favorite games and that sort of thing before. The Store page is also disappointing, it takes up more space and manages to feel more claustrophobic and cluttered at the same time.
Very nice. Yes, it's a bit claustrophobic, but I like a lot of the data in the "Library" section if you set it to "Game Details." "Game Grid" is absolutely useless, though. Like the iTunes Grid, but way more obtuse and obscene.
Me, I hate the look. I love the minimalistic set up in UIs. Always have, even hate the start bar in Windows as I find it highly ineffecint. I always used a very small LiteStep theme on XP and if it wasn't for the fact that I wanted a good solid 64-bit system and the new task bar pin in 7 I wouldn't use it until a new complete shell overhaul came out. My point in all this? I don't like the pictures for the games and how they took away the tabs for the pages. So far, not liking it and I hope they don't force me to use the new UI 'cause its pretty. If they do, I'm going to personally write them saying, just give me the option to use the old UI set up.
Still haven't used Steam at all, mostly because I haven't had a PC that could run games in years. I just bought a new laptop with a good graphics card, so maybe I'll finally get back into PC gaming.
Is Steam really as awesome as it sounds?

^Indeed. The new in-game overlay is tits; it finally has a system clock to let me know how much time I've wasted.
Loving it.
Not loving the inability to download anything from Steam right now because everyone's downloading the beta ui! ;)
Want Gridrunners :(

...It didn't work for me. I installed it, and it said I had to restart Steam. I did, and it wouldn't let me connect to Steam at all. I didn't get past the update bar. I had to delete the Beta in my system registry to get Steam working again. What am I doing wrong?
Also may cause steam to uninstall games and delete friends. Use at your own risk. I'm personally waiting on this because I pretty much know it will fuck something up for me. The UI looks really good though.
@king kong five:
- Now using a WebKit based rendering engine for the client and in-game overlay web browsing components (replacing Internet Explorer
so basically chrome or safari.

Zarathustra: It is. An epic list of AAA and oldschool games all at reasonable prices. Knowing that once you put your money down, that game will forever be yours, is a good feeling. Not to mention automatic updates for patches with info on what the patch contains and a universal friends list that lets you invite people in to any game.
You should just try it, it's quite small and if you don't like it you can just uninstall it. But trust me, if you have even $10 to spare you can pick up multiple games on Steam. They even have options to organize their games by price and they have constant awesome deals in a "Specials" tab.
Also, to everybody who is trying out the Beta and doesn't like certain things about it, please please PLEASE EMAIL VALVE AND GIVE THEM A REPORT! THIS IS WHAT THE BETA IS FOR!

My biggest complaint is the Library. It feels much more cluttered andthey should at least give is the option of having the other minimalist divisive line where everything was there to see and what was installed or not.
It was really slow at first but now I quite like it. They haven't done anything to the community style yet so I can't wait for that.
One big problem, don't know if anybody else has encountered it:
I can't find a lot of my games.
For whatever reason, games like Borderlands, Ghost Master, Uplink, Darwinia and Torchlight aren't showing up on my Games List. Is there something I don't know about, or has the installation f*cked up?

@Mikular Did you change the list set up? Click Show tab, and put it on all games. It's listing everything for me even games that are not even steam compatible.
It's ok... really nice new game browsing options but the store is slightly less attractive to me for some reason.
I mostly buy games in a box as I have issues with Steam's account-based access model versus true ownership, but I do have Steam always on and use it to launch my games.
