Here it is stated clearly! They give companies tiem to get familiar with the changes and once they are familiar they CHANGE it! That's really sound, don't you think? And my point is not to bitch about a couple of changes, change in small doses is always welcome if it improves things. But to change the whole layout of menus, besides many other things, every four years is excessive. Does it mean four years ago they had it ALL wrong? Don't they know what "incremental improvement" means?
