Jeff,

While this latest version is indeed simpler, it still has one thing to it: it’s image-heavy. People on dialup on a slow day are going to get frustrated while they sit there waiting for a bunch of big graphics to load.

In my mind, it would be better to do the main stuff with text with non-essential images as supplements. That way the main stuff loads fast enough to get the idea and give viewers something to read while the images load (which as Todd said should be kept to ~1-2 seconds).

One other thing about it is that there is no room for big announcements or stuff like that (the recent Virtual LEGO and BrickFest images, for example). On an 800x600 screen, all the room is filled up.
