SharePoint 2010’s default UI uses the ribbon UI of office 2007 and 2010, however this is optional and upgrades from legacy master pages and installs will default to the old style. Also they have a preview option for showing what would happen if you enabled the ribbon using your master page layout.
SharePoint 2010 now supports using LINQ without any funky abstraction through the web services natively. Also Visual Studio 2010 is reported to have a visual designer for SharePoint web parts now (yay!).
SharePoint 2010 makes use of Silverlight, shown is a Silverlight chart control reporting on data within the document library. Hopefully they also do media streaming web parts using Silverlight but haven’t heard either way on that bit.
You can define simple color style themes instead of relying on the premade ones that were included in 2003 and 2007. Customization without development time.
SharePoint 2010 upgrades Firefox and Safari to Tier 1 browsers. Meaning you can do everything you’re used to doing in IE only in SharePoint with all the major browsers. While Chrome wasn’t mentioned as it uses webkit like Safari it most likely works fine too.
Overall SharePoint 2010 is a cool tool!!!
