iTunes 7 Interface: A Sign of Things To Come?

I just downloaded the new iTunes 7 at work and amongst the plethora of design changes, one thing struck me very much: The scrollbars are not the standard aqua scrollbars found on mac os x. Historically, design changes that happen in iTunes end up being implemented in the rest of the mac apps like when iTunes lost its brushed metal in favor of a gradient all the iLife apps followed suit. Same with the source list: iTunes went blue and lost the paddings - so followed Mail and other countless apps... So with this scrollbar change does that mean the next version of Mac OS X is gonna lose its aqua and go flat? In my opinion it's kinda boring and almost Windows-y. Thoughts anyone?

Yeah I'm with you about the dullness of the design. It must be tough to be a designer for Apple, the whole Aqua interface look was pretty forward for it's time, so where do you go from there? You're going to have to freshen up the UI elements eventually, so what do you do when past designs have been overwhelmingly successful.
