No major change, if there were only thumbs up and thumbs down for layout, I would not see a fit vote; if there were a 1-to-5 scale I would vote 3, and reconsider later.

Here are some comments:

advantages
+ slightly more modern look, needs getting used to
+ nice set of icons for print, ...

disadvantages
- Bob got demoted; your beta has the main/green menu bar higher up; it makes sense, doesn't look as good (maybe needs getting used to too); having green above and orange below the ad in the header does not look pretty.
- distraction pane now at the right, I don't like it there (*1)
- missing: last update date near first posted date (*2); I know it's near the author's name now, I don't think that is where it belongs
- the vote histogram not immediately visible, and no arrow cursor when hovering
- the new tabs look good but act very slowly

still not improved
= voting histogram is hard to read (try getting vote count on a short column), why not make it 3 times as large?

suggestions
1. make the search bar (bottom part of header) green, same as menu bar, rather than orange.
2. consider a lighter shade of green
3. in the header, let the author's hyperlink point to his profile page, not his article list; and add a (more articles) hyperlink if there are more.

(*1) The first thing I do when installing a new Visual Studio, is move the Solution Pane to the left; having navigation means and other tools to the left seems much more natural. If you must offer it on the right, can you make that a user setting?
(*2) Could easily be fixed.
