[...] that the old Steam UI hasn't been in use since 2003, right? It came in an update in early 2007. http://steamreview.org/posts/winterupdate/ The one before that was in October 2005: http://steampowered.com/Steam/Market…005/?l=english [...]

[...] New User Interface Steam�s got a new coat of paint. We�ve stripped away all the non-essentials and created a new streamlined appearance, available in five different colors. Favorites Steam�s catalog of games has grown quite a bit over the past year or so. The new Favorites feature in the My Games tab of Steam allows for quick access to your favorite Steam games and additional functionality for personalizing your Steam library of content. Background Client Updates Since the Steam client was first released, it has always kept itself up to date � but now it�ll do so without making you wait during startup. Instead, it will acquire new updates in the background and then (once they�re downloaded) ask if you�d like to restart and apply them. Steam will also let you know what�s new whenever a new update is ready to apply. Guest Passes Guest Passes allow owners of certain Steam games (purchased either via Steam or at retail) to let their friends play games for free, for a limited time trial. The first game to take advantage of this new feature will be Day of Defeat: Source. More info at The Steam Review [...]

I like the new UI, although I was hoping for more functionality.

I mean, now we can have a favourites group, but where’s the drag and drop? Steam has been screaming out for this for absolutely ages. Why not give users the ability to create their own groups?

A “Manage Guest Passes” button next to the “Activate product” button on the bottom would have been a lot easier to find for newbs, even if its a bit redundant with them showing up on the main games list.
