Youtube just lanched a link where you can switch to Youtube Player beta. Seriously, am I missing something?

Let’s see the differences. Well, we have a bit smaller control bar, there is no “back” button, the volume control is now a pop scroll button and the button next to “full screen” witch i am not sure what it does (I think it fits the video to the original size) is gone.

I can’t understand why this is in beta. I think that if tomorrow goes live few will going to understand the difference

Update Mike Abundo from Inside Online Video shines the light of this - at first sight unnecessary - upgrade. As you can read, it seems that the new player autodetects your Bandwidth! So no more quality switching. Thank you Mike!
