Well, the changes are coming and I have to say, it looks pretty cool. Could MySpace rise from the grave? Based on this teaser video, I would not bet against them. Especially since sentiment about Facebook seems to be waning with a lot of people. (Young people, Mark Cuban, people who admin fan pages, etc.)
