Hopefully someone will move this to the appropriate place. Wasn't really sure where to stick it.

(no comments there guys)
It's amazing.
You can design your own today screen, start menu, lock screen, etc very very easily. If you've ever done somewhat advanced html/css,
you should be able to read through the files and figure everything out.

The best thing you can do to get your questions answered completely though is flash a 6.5 rom and try it out. We can tell you everything about it but you need to actual experience to make the decision of what system to run.
6.5 is amazing.
But I agree, flash it, and test it out.
Whats the worst that could happen, you answer your questions and then flash back???

Edit: I forgot to add this, I'm pretty dang sure these are official builds we're seeing. From what I was reading a bunch of places the 25XXX builds were the verrrrry first official release, and they released like 5 more builds right after that, it seemed like almost daily or every other day. I'm pretty sure it was due to the feedback program that they have giving them feedback on all of the bugs. Not sure on the last sentence, but these are the official builds.

The only disadvantage to WM 6.5 for me, is that some software does not work well with it, given some software was not written for WM 6.5. But with the new release of Pocket e-Sword working well with WM 6.5 I'm all good.
Yeah, I honestly only ran into one software being a problem, and that was pandora. Pandora sucks anyways, so I didn't really care.
I use last.fm
It's wayyyyyyyyyyyy better.

Luckily, there is "quick menu" available to get around that. If that option wasn't available, I would have had to go back to 6.1.

UGH!!! QUICK MENU IS UGLY!!
No, It's FUGLY!!
lol.
Why not design your own start menu?
it's really simple.
