I like the new look. They still need to update the iWork icons though.

They need to update the iWork suite as a whole. All the iCloud bits have the new UI (Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Find my Phone) but the iWork bits all have old UI.

Maybe it's going to be an overhaul of the iWork UI across all their systems?

Find My iPhone is still using Google Maps. Guess they don't have Apple Maps set up for web embedding.

They are all still marked as beta.

Correction: iCloud Beta Incorporates windows (Metro) look and feel.

Except not at all. This has a very different look and feel.

Everything with a modern design is not a copy of Metro. Windows wasn't the first to do flat designs, and most designs (like this) that people say look like metro don't resemble it.

If they chose any time to update the iWork suite, then it should be now. iWork for Mac hasn't seen an update since 2009, and both iOS and OS X are very different landscapes since then.

I know it's not quite the same, but MacBooks do have sudden motion sensors.

Actually, a lot of laptops including Macs do have an accelerometer. They use it to detect possible impacts and park the hard drive heads. Probably will be going away with SSDs.

As far I know MacBooks without SSD have a chip that can detect movement. Once the chip detects movement that is too fast it will turn off the hard disk to avoid damage. This chip can also be used with a C API.
