I am sorry, but I have to say the new Menu on the Mac is hideous, just hideous.

Could you elaborate a bit, Howard?

It is a set of crudely designed boxes, which frankly are so badly done it is embarrassing. If some one could post a screen shot of the first screen I would be grateful. I just have no idea how this design was given the green light. I used to do computer art so I hope I know what I am talking about.

The new main menu is a usability nightmare on the Mac, as you have to drag with your mouse to navigate it (being directly ported from touchscreen platforms, I presume). Swiping is not supported and neither are arrow keys, both of which would be much more user-friendly interaction models than click-and-drag.
Not really a fan of the music there, either (haven't yet checked if that can be switched off).

While certainly not ideal, it's a huge improvement over the original menu (which was fine when there were only a handful of tables). The thing I like the most about the new setup is that I can select just my purchased tables, which saves me the hassle of scrolling past those I don't own.
A vertical scrolling menu might be a good compromise. It would be easy to flick through on an iDevice, and easy to scroll through on a Mac.
