Looking forward to try out the new solution.
I’m sure it will be way better than the old one.

I’d like to see URLs that look like directories too.
e.g., http://www.cooltshirts.com/Mens/HaveAGoodDay/
Of course, if it isn’t too much extra work.

I was wondering how SEO URL’s would be handled in Magento. This looks like a fantastic way to do it. Good job!

Thoroughly looking forward to the next release with the SEO URL functionality. This means that we will be starting to work properly with the Magento system as a company and test it properly! Many thanks go out to all the Magento team!
Congrats Moshe, Roy, Yoav and the crew!
