first of all if it got activated in yours, at the top right corner, you will see "older version" to switch back to the old version...

also u can check out how contacts are handled....its new and redesigned...

they say they are using a new java script and its supposed to make gmail 2.0 faster than the earlier gmail, but i didnt find any such difference...

It's much faster (even html images load almost instantaneously), and the contacts are much better. Not much else though. I'll see if I can find something else...

If you have the new features enabled for your account, you will notice a link "Older version" at the top right of your screen.

Also, the URLs will end like /#inbox or /#drafts

That has nothing to do with the interface.

As of now it works only with Firefox and Internet Explorer. More browser support would be added soon, as the testing progresses. :)

not sure about speed but the contact manager is a god send for me as I need to do a lot of work in groups. The previous version contact manager was too awkward to use.
Works in firefox for me, but doesn't work in ie in any of the systems in our office.
The interface looks cooler with a few subtle changes, but you didn't need a new version for that. Not sure about the multimessenger thing though.

on second thoughts, none of the ies are 7, all are six. Maybe they work in ie7
