Well the wait is over and version 2.7 of WordPress is now live.

from the wordpress blog:
The first thing you’ll notice about 2.7 is its new interface. From the top down, we’ve listened to your feedback and thought deeply about the design and the result is a WordPress that’s just plain faster. Nearly every task you do on your blog will take fewer clicks and be faster in 2.7 than it did in a previous version.

After shooting out a message on twitter to see if anyone had any issues with the install and getting back only positive feedback I decided to make the jump to the new version.

My initial reaction to the new version – WOW. It is so customizable with the ability to move boxes around where I want them, hide menus, fast response times, and a sexy new look. I have to say that the development team really hit a home run with this one in my eyes.

Here is a little video highlighting the new version.

Have you made the jump to WordPress 2.7? What do you think? Did you have any issues with the upgrade?
