I have to say I like this redesign. However I am missing two options in 
the wizard at all (and I missed them in the old one too). I would like 
to be able to just create a new machine and do not install anything on 
it and/or  do not startup it. So I would like to see the install method 
"No installation" and an advanced option "do not start the VM now".
There are situations when you do not want to start the VM right away. I 
can address both issues with installing from dummy ISO image (actually 
RIP linux :-) ) and stopping the machine, but I think it would be nice 
to have the options right in the wizard.
