I’ve always been a little bit “wanting more” for wordpress admin section. Soon there will be a new admin section that looks pretty nice (from playing with the demo).

In general I think 2.5 to 2.6 was a much bigger roleout do to the new media interface and functions, but 2.7 has much better useability in the place you spend the most time while blogging.

Here is a good slideshow of how the admin section was designed and tested.
Slideshare presentation (61 slides)

If you want to try the demo: Talkpress.de (demo)
Notice there is no plugin directory. This is because it is a WPMU site and they have disabled plugins. The slideshow shows plugins in the left navigation menu.

Not sure what inbox is. Here is an explanation of it. Sounds a little like a friendfeed.

For those early adopters, here are the files from automattic.
