I haven't been invited to the preview yet, but I can't wait to try it out.
For those who haven't seen it, there's a USA Today article with some screenshots of the new site. Looks much better at a glance.

I am the only one who has the link?
I actually was able to book an award segment on it.
The home page is a panel set up like Windows.
In my car now but will try to message the home page when I get home.

Just got an email welcoming me to the Beta Program!
First Glance it looks fairly nice and the details that we care about, fare class and upgrade availability remains.

Flyer-friendly from the first click
We're reimagining our digital channels with one goal in mind: Improving your experience. We began by updating our airport kiosks and mobile app. Now, we're rebuilding united.com, starting with an easier trip planning and flight booking process.
We'd like you to be one of the first to take a look at the new united.com in progress. Since this is a special, invitation-only preview, you'll need to log in with your MileagePlus® account to access the beta site. When you do, you'll see that we've approached the site with the following goals in mind:
We've streamlined tasks for more intuitive travel planning and booking. View search results and flight options in fewer clicks and keep previous searches stored for easy retrieval.
All-new booking filters enable you to find a flight that meets your needs. Search by time, price, airport connections, Wi-Fi and more. Expanded upgrade functionality lets you compare and waitlist during booking.
We've optimized the site with larger graphic elements and fingertip controls so you can easily perform tasks on your desktop or tablet.
More to come
Underneath the new look and feel, we rebuilt united.com and the mobile apps from the ground-up to make them faster, more consistent and easy to use. The website will continue to advance and evolve over time — you'll see updates to account management, check-in and travel management. We invite you to explore the beta site and tell us what you think about our progress so far. We value your feedback as we work to give travelers the best possible digital experience.

Even if you share the link, not everyone will be able to log in... I believe it's invite-only for certain MP accounts.

Just did some test drive. This is really nice update. Kayak like scroll bar to choose price, layover time, trip duration, etc.
One BIG negative for me is it only shows One Way price. It does not tell you total fare upfront until you select all your segments. Maybe ability is there but I did not see it - if someone sees it, please post.
Also, is there a way to give them feedback? I did not see that as well.

It tracks your "recent searches" as well. Love that!

Got in and the first thing I looked for was fare class information. Happy to see it still show up. ^^
