As a CMU BS-CS graduate myself, the most obvious and startling shift is no OS or networking requirement. That alone makes it "not the Computer Science undergrad track" as far as I'm concerned.

(Not to mention the notable lack of the utterly gigantic forest of higher-level discrete math concepts and programming language theory. Were I in a place to re-do an undergraduate career, this would have been very appealing to me relative to what CMU offered).
