I love all three of them but I love what I've seen of 7 so far just as much if not more. So I'm fine giving those up and I think in the long run most people will as well.

This just proves my point exactly. You hate how SPB looks, others do to. Others hate how Sense/Touchflo looks, other hate how Winmo7 looks, others hate PointUI. But guess what. If we all had OPTIONS, we could pick the one we liked, and everyone would be happy. The problem is they've removed our ability to choose what we like.

I think you're making it a bigger deal than it really is

The problem is, this social networking BS is an integral part of the OS and GUI design adding layers of unnecessary clutter that I don't want or need, regardless of whether or not I "sign in". Again, it's them forcing choices down my throat instead of allowing me to make them.
