A few points:
(1) The other nice feature of the checkbox is that the message does NOT get dumped into the lower reading pane. Nice for those stupid spams that make it through their (pretty decent but not perfect) spam filter.
(2) Speaking of need-to-add features, a way to eliminate a lot of the startup boxes like the weather would be nice. I already have a weather site that I like (and subscribe to), so I don't need to wait an extra few seconds just to tell me what the weather is right now. If I want to know the weather, I'll turn to my left and look out the window! It's either feature-bloat (yea, M$) or wowsers-look-what-we-could-add-here functionality.
(3) I, too, used the beta early on and couldn't wait to turn on the classic. I recently tried it again, and while it has not gotten (and probably will never get) as fast as the classic version, it is fast enough. Yes, the startup is slow (see #2 above), but reading mail isn't as bad as it was.
I'm a convert, and I'll stick with the "new" interface now.
