Extreme Makeover: USPTO Edition.

The USPTO website (http://www.uspto.gov/) now has a new look!  Although the changes appear to be superficial at this time (most of the underlying pages and functionality do not appear to have been changed), the USPTO is apparently planning to extend the "makeover" over the coming months and "redesign the entire website."

I applaud the USPTO for attempting to improve their website.  Previously, as a general information source, I had found that the site could be very cumbersome to use.  Comments on your experiences with the old site are welcomed, either here or at new_web_look@uspto.gov.
