It's much better, since I think the Administrator & Preferences menu had
been over stuffed with confusing functionalities.

The new libslab-based Control Center had been organized in different
categories,
(Look & Feel, Hardware, Personal, System), which is really a better approach
towards usability, specially on people new to Ubuntu.

The changes is really new, It's not bad, I think people will be used to it
just like any other changes.
