Well, it essentially follows none of the set standards of CD-ROMs (for PC anyways)
There's no autorun.
I don't want to install a magazine's CD. There should be no option as to why it can't run off the CD.
I also love the 2 minute advertisement that pops up when trying to view content. From a UI aspect, the close button above the movie leads me to believe that if I close out of the advertisement, I close out of whatever section I'm in. (I just noticed that this isn't the case with 'music'. It has a nav to the right of the ad.)
I'm much more disappointed by the design state of the magazine than the CD-ROM. I've always viewed a CD-ROM as a supplement. In this case, with the magazine's crappy design, I hoped that the CD-ROM would pick up the slack instead of being just a supplement.
Also, the instructions on the CD assume that the user is on a Macintosh.
