While i like the change, I don't understand the choice for a drop down menu at the right side. Rolling over a button to read you name and email, a link to your profile (which I most probably will not find very useful ) and sign out button (which I want to be super easy to access) seems just adding complexity (both visual and behavioral), without improving anything.
Apart from that, I hope that they will add an option to customize the links on the left side.
