As a user, I resist things moving around the screen and disappearing ... it makes me nervous. Yet, the basic design of the page seemed to call for it and I feel like I just followed the idea to it's conclusion. On the other hand, I think this idea shows off Fedora's offerings in terms of .iso choices. The above is simple and elegant, things I think Fedora is also. It's more in line with the rest of our content. ( a little sparse, but I am thinking we would add the right hand column? ) Both seem like huge improvements over the current get-fedora page, and as our goal is to improve the current user experience I think having as many ideas out there to work from can only improve the end result.
