Apple updates OS X Downloads page design

Apple has refreshed the look of the OS X Downloads page. It is a much cleaner design, and highlights a number of RSS feeds (Top 20, Just Added, and Staff Picks). Listed on the right side of the page are the Top Widgets, and the top iTunes + iPod downloads.
Do we see shades of a possible new UI in Leopard? Only time will tell.
Thanks, Nik.

I noticed they also added icons or small screenshots to their RSS feeds. I posted some more about it in my blog:

There aren't any applications missing, but thanks for proving you've never visited the site before.

In case you didn't notice, there's a whackload of applications removed from the list also.
So this is now things work? Drop the "computer" from your name, suddenly you can go about producing sub-par websites like everyone else?
And I agree with Sun Chiu. Enough with the movies/trailers/tv/podcasts, Apple. Last time I checked, under my 10.4.8 Apple menu it says "Mac OS X Software..." not "Stuff that works on your Mac or any other device capable of playing a MP4 video..."
It's pretty obvious, they're redesigning it so it can work with the iPhone well, and they'll have a separate downloads page for it.
