I pretty much agree.  I like the semi-opaque hexagons on the first, and the
colour of the second.  The icons down the left of the middle section on the
second are real nice; as are the "Top Resources" and the "Related Sites".  I
think we can do better with the fonts on the right ie New Software, but
besides that, very cool!  Well done peoples!

One last thing, I'm with Joakim, I don't much like the big black "reverse L". 
Perhaps if it were shaped (like ajoining hollowed hexagons?) or somthing.
