I love the extra speed that came with the update. Podcasts are pretty fun as well. On the other hand the software has been dumbed down so much that it's actually much harder for me to use. It is a BIT faster though.
I understand that they are dumbing down the software to appeal to the mass of users who generally couldn't care less about the sorting of their music collection but I have issues with stuff being moved around and album art replaced. I still haven't fully recovered everything from the update.
If you're using a Zune Pass the marketplace is substantially more organized. There seems to be a better variety as well. Yet just the same it feels... unfinished and rough. I'm not sure how else to describe it.
Overall I have mixed feelings about the upgrade. If they had given me the option of just updating the firmware on my player I would've been fine with that. Sadly I'll just have to take the good with the bad. However, I wouldn't have tried to avoid the upgrade... as the good does (barely) outweigh the bad.
