First of all, congrats to you on your blog.
It’s awesome with its cool design.
Me too is very passionate about blogging, internet and technology.
I am an acquaintance of Sumesh too..
I recently started by blog.

About the article:
I tried the WP 2.5 RC1 on my Home WAMPServer. The Admin area, as you said, is made minimalistic and some sections which were Main Sections are now SubSections.

Another concern is the plugins. It’s what causes the delay in the upgrading process. Many of them are incompatible.

But, no doubt, it’s gonna win. After all, it’s Wordpress.

I will wait until the dust settles down and updated plugins are available. As it look they do have worked a lot to optimize different aspects in Wordpress 2.5.

@Sumesh,
I too liked the 2.5 in Fluency theme.

I tired WP2.5 RC1 on a local XAMPP server setup, and the admin panel does not look good as compared to all the hype. But Fluency theme is excellent, and I switched to it immediately.
