Being locked into the grey interface feels confining & claustrophobic. Not being able to resize your windows with a minimize button too is not such a great feature. The speed is very good, fast & fluid with the smudge tool, and saving in the bkgd is great too. More to test would be nice to get more time with the beta than 7 days on it.  I also got a warning fbox that said "Photoshop detacted graphicshardware that is not officially supported. If you experience problems please uncheck the Use Graphics Processor checkbox in the Performance panel of the Preferences dialog." I guess this meands my Grahics card might not be up to speed with it? I'm on an older iMac late 2006 model, with these specs for the graphics card.

So far no real probelms it seems but I guess there could be berter perfomance & speed?

Should I uncheck the Use graphics Processor checkbox?
