The admin look like the admin we have now. What has been added is the "Woo Themes" menu navigation under the "Appearance" menu which I have absolutely no idea how to work or what it's supposed to accomplish (even after watching the video and I <em>thought</em> I understood it). See link below for reference and link to Woo Themes' video. All the pieces must not be in place yet or I'm just being stupid about it. http://wordpress.org/development/2010/02/menus-merge-patch-sprint/ The biggest change is the merging of WordPress MU and WordPress.org into a single platform. In the future, upgrading a single user site to WP 3.0 won't activate any of the MU features so the single user site stays a single user site. On the same token, upgrading an existing WP MU site to WP 3.0 upgrades a multi-user site as a multi-user site. If a blogger wants to switch his/her single user site to a multi-user site in WP 3.0, It's done via the "Network" item under the "Tools" menu. Haven't attempted this myself though. There's other small changes and improvements here and there throughout the admin so far but they're minor so far.

What has been added is the “Woo Themes” menu navigation under the “Appearance” menu which I have absolutely no idea how to work or what it’s supposed to accomplish (even after watching the video and I thought I understood it). See link below for reference and link to Woo Themes’ video. All the pieces must not be in place yet or I’m just being stupid about it.

Is it radically different, or are there just a few tweaks to make it <em>look</em> radically different?
