I don't know, I liked the original, but I kept thinking you were going to make some cool new twist or change but it never happened. Also why this one, the only real difference is the house and a better camera. I would think if you were going to remake one it would be an episode that was more restricted by your resources at the time.
I remember in the LRRcast (I think) you mentioned that the original thought for the ending was that Paul was insane in a mental institution with linux installed on himself, and while I understand why you didn't go with that, either then or now, I hoped for something weird like that.
