Not that I really post here enough to need the upgrade, but I like having the newest and the greatest…  So I upgraded from WP 2.6.whatever to 2.7.  The upgrade went smoothly, but at first I was a little confused.  After I logged in, I could see the interface overhaul, but had no menu for widgets, plugins, etc.  I only saw controls for creating new posts.

It took me a minute of clicking around and wondering what I had done wrong before I remembered that I had the Admin Menu Dropdown plugin installed.  Basically, it hid the normal WordPress menu and displayed a pretty, compact, dropdown version.  Well, it still his the menu after the upgrade, which is why I couldn’t find anything.  I disabled it, since the new default menu is much more functional than the 2.6 version.
