It’s not actually multiple sites… It’s multi-user (hence MU) blogs which have been a feature of Drupal for years. For example, you can’t manage http://www.yourdomain.com and http://www.mydomain.com from the same wordpress admin, but you could manage yours.ourdomain.com and mine.ourdomain.com.

There is probably a way to manage different domains but that would likely require some hacking of the core which you obviously want to avoid, otherwise wordpress will have trouble generating correct URLs for the separate domains.

As a big fan of open source development, and someone who's frequently upset when a good wp plug-in falls by the waste side, I'm looking forward to this Canonical plugin system as well. Just checked out your site Shevonne, like the Hamasaki theme. You've got a lot of great plugins in use there so I can see why your looking forward to the new plugin architecture as well! Thanks for the comment.

The big things that I'm excited most about are the multiple sites function, custom post types, and the ability to change the background (isn't a big deal, but it could be nice).
I agree though, the new default theme is definitely a step up from what it's been stuck on for so many years. I'm bad at this though, sometimes I don't realize what I want(ed) until I have it.. I'll have to ponder over this.

I'm excited about these new features as well. I was planning on building out a portfolio section to my site and have been trying to figure out the easiest way to do it, so I'm looking forward to Custom Post Types. I'm also, constantly looking for a basic bare bones theme to work with, but kubrick has a pretty archaic look now, the new one is much more modern. Any features you were looking forward to that didn't make it into 3.0?

Oh! This is big!
I love/hate knowing when it's going to come out… now I know I have to wait another 2 months.
Looks like a pretty awesome update though, and hence why WordPress remains one of my favorite platforms.
