Open plan offices with low partitions and no cubicles makes for a much more pleasant working environment IMHO

Maybe it's a UK thing but i agree with you. In my current office I share a room with approx. 18-20 people and two Avid workstations. I've always worked better when there's noise and if I have to knuckle down and do anything that requires concentration then I stick my headphones on.

The only thing I want to do in a cubicle is take a dump!
