I think Peter puts it best: "This kind of thing would NEVER happen this fast with a MS product. I know this seems slow, but it really only took 3 - 4 months of serious squacking to get it changed."
It's good that it's changed -- and it seems to me that the change will be in the m88 builds, which are not quite yet out. But let's not be too smug about MS here. This kind of public beta is what we have to do instead of usability labs. And I think it's obvious that they would change anything that got feedback as bad in the usabilty labs as the castrated quickstarter did.
With OOo anyone and their typing monkey can try a developers snapshot. It is such an amazingly awesome concept, that it boggles my mind. Someday I would like to learn how OOo makes money, but that can be another day.
