I love the new layout. And I especially like seeing Multibit first on the client list. I remember first trying the "default" client only to get very frustrated, but when I later tried out MultiBit it was smooth sailing.
Multibit will complain on most newbie machines that "No Java found". Which is
tedious presumptive and dangerous to install too. So it's not quite recommendable for beginners either.
I fixed the quoted text for you. There was a new Java release 10 days ago fixing critical security holes, and already there is another vulnerability disclosed. When that's patched, the next one will be used...
