Huge bug..... It deletes half of your games folder and then redownloads the half it kept. I had to opt out of the beta then delete all files related to MW2. I am not redownloading the full version from the non-beta.
Fail. We can still play single player after the connection is gone.
Found a fixStore doesn't work for me in the new UI.
Guess they don't want my money.
The problem is caused by a setting in Internet Explorer's connection settings. Under "LAN Settings" in the Internet Options, if the box "Automatically detect settings" is checked, the Steam browser will not function. Once the box is unchecked, and Steam restarted (note I do not use a proxy) the browser works properly. So to fix the problem, open IE, go to Tools -> Internet Options ->Connections -> LAN Settings, and uncheck "Automatically detect settings," then close and re-open Steam.
Just a warning to all who want to try this update.
It may cause one or more of your games to break. The most commonly affected games are MW2 and Borderlands, but many others are at risk.
Basically, Steam thinks that you are missing game files, and deletes/updates random stuff trying to "update" the game, leaving you with a game that doesn't work. I personally am reinstalling MW2 from scratch right now.
I personally like how it is now. Since you can individually tag each game with multiple categories, you can easily list your games by genre, developer, etc. The nice thing is that these settings are stored to the Steam cloud and I don't have to reset them for a new Steam install. (tested on my laptop to be sure!)

I must've been lucky. No deletes/redownloads and just finished playing some Borderlands too.
Liking the new UI for the most part. Seems a tad on the dark side though.
Just noticed - "testshell-error:" on the main page
EDIT2 - rebooted, opened steam and MW2 multiplayer started over ? i'm gonna pause it instead
Dunno if it is just me or what, but the second i switched over, it redownloaded my Company of Heroes games for no reason at all.
Well the thing is Steam has so many different windows, chats, friends list, games list, settings, and server list, that the X's have to be used to close individual windows rather than close the entire program.
I had to download a gig of TF2. A couple games had to download 1-200mb, and a handful of other games said they had to download something, but as soon as I clicked download, they changed to "ready to play". Quite odd.
Other than that, I like the new UI
Well, I won't be trying the beta then. The two pieces of software I use the most are Steam and the Zune software. Zune needs that setting checked in order to search the store at a decent speed, and I really don't want to be flipping in and out of IE to change it back and forth.
