Finally, everyones favorite P2P TV application is coming into version 1.0. Although it is still in a Beta 1.0 version but it has lot of improvements in it. Joost has updated its service by releasing a beta 1.0 version of the P2P software, which brings a new spoon UI with it.
Yes, totally modified user interface would be the first thing which you will notice after you install the client. It has completely re-designed Channel guide, which is renamed to Explore and animates out a list of available categories to choose from. 
One important thing, I have noticed about version 1.0 is the fact, which you can drag and drop thumbnails of different programs in the Explore Programs section to create personal channels.
Once you hold your mouse over the thumbnail you can also get the Add to my Channels option, which will make you more convenient to just drag and drop without previewing. The ‘Invite Friends’ option is now integrated with the widget menu, along with the ‘Blog This’ and ‘User Profile’ feature.
Now you can share shows with friends, either within Joost itself using chat or by sending Joost Links by mail or putting them on your blog or website. The new version of the P2P application has become more tolerant of poor network performance and will attempt to retry and restart streams that have become stalled. People who are running Windows Vista, they have to install the administrator privileges because Joost 1.0’s installer no longer uses a stub loader to run the application and this removes the requirement for compatibility dlls to be loaded.
