Personally I don't like the ones in my shipping products, and the good 
ones are in either alpha or beta and can't be shown publicly for a few 
more weeks.

I'll drop you an email offline so you can see the makeover; others with 
whom I have no NDA probably won't care anyway, but they'll be shipping 
not long from now.  Most of them follow the same Adobe/Macromedia model, 
only with a little more white space and larger target areas.


Speaking of makeovers:

I'm collecting stories of UI makeovers for an article I'm working on 
about redesigning over the product life cycle, sort of a follow-up to my 
"Bionic App" presentation at RevCon '07.

If any of you have done substantial makeovers in the UIs for your apps 
across multiple versions, I'd be very interested in including them in 
this study.

Please email me offline and we can discuss the details:
