RE: Change for the sake...
What does that even mean? Since Windows 95 folks have been making shortcuts on their desktops to their fav programs. They don't have to do that in Windows 8. Now they have this screen customized to their personal tastes that gives them everything they ever wanted. Is that not the definition of an improvement? Even more since some programs will provide feedback on that screen without user intervention. Let's re-title yours to: "Replying for the sake of replying."
