   The other thing that Brian forgot to mention is that the new 
selection display gives a visual indication of how far down the 
children of the selection extend.  So, on OO2, you can easily select 
the parent of a long list and scroll down and find the end, no matter 
how long the list is.  This is really, really important -- try doing 
this in OO2 and it is pretty hard to do this operation reliably.

   There are some improvements we are considering, so keep the feedback 
coming :)
