Ok, a little story here about change for change sake.

I live in Burbank and actually take public transportation to my 9-5. One of the benefits, other than not dealing with LA freeways, has always been that half way in between there is a nice little bar at the train station.

Since I've been going there, the clock has always been 12 minutes fast.

A new bartender got tired of being asked if the clock was fast and set it to the real time.

Imagine what he heard when later that evening everyone of the regulars missed their train.

In the case of WP, I suspect that they got tired of hearing how difficult the navigation was and decided to try to improve it.....now they have to listen to all of us experienced users complain.

Oh...the bar...they changed the clock back to being fast.
