Have you had trouble browsing newly designed Apple website? I for one, sometimes get annoyed by the lack of direction.

It takes some getting use to, I admit. I think Apple is trying to make the website display a more uniform look with Leopard's and the iPhone's GUI.

I know exactly how you feel.

The website has been very difficult to navigate after the new change. An area in which it has bothered me is when searching for widgets. Apples site no longer has a widget search like it used to. If I know what im looking for, I have to pick out the category and scroll down the list of widgets to get there.

The new design looks nice, but is quite annoying.

I had trouble finding the search - if you search with the box in the top bar, it'll show a drop-down Spotlight-style search, and widgets appear in the results. Searching for "countdown" finds a countdown widget, for example.

It's not obvious, though.

Oh, I knew about that search bar, but I didnt know that it provided results from all the sections of the website, seperated by category. However, I wouldve prefered if they had an individual search for each section. Searching the entire site when all I want to look for is widgets just really seems inefficient.

I know I preferred the Support section's previous version: I just found it easier to get around in there. Now for some odd reason you can't readily see a direct link to the Support's Downloads section, you have to manually type in /Downloads.

That's exactly what I mean.

I love the new design. I wish they would put it on the UK site too. ):
