It's terrible - like a comic for kids. I won't be going to it.

Absolutley agree. A load of POOH
We don't want that stupid scrolling bar across everything.
What's wrong with a simple familiar layout where everything is where it always is for easy access and one can (sometimes) customise to get rid of the CR*P

I suppose it is to be expected after viewing the rubbish Ariel online pages which are nothing like Pravda (sorry Ariel) used to be.
