I wouldn't expect most users to edit the menu at all.
They'll just use
the default.
*boggle* what is the threshold to move from new user to power user - it
seems it is set a bit too low.
Just b/c someone likes a different application doesn't mean they're
skilled enough to find it buried 10 layers deep.
Again, I don't think most users are going to want to spend time
evaluating various applications.
Ok - so I have to ask - how many user interactions have y'all had?
(y'all == the people deciding this policy?)
I interact with users everday - more importantly users of desktop linux
systems and they pick over the apps all day until they find one they
like, then they cling to it like lichen on a cave wall.
If they have a preferred application, they're more of a power
user.
Probably something like the MacOS "Applications" folder would be a good
solution here, as Rex suggested.
preferring an application makes someone a power user?
What is your scale for going from new user to power user? could you
explain it b/c I think we're working at VERY different definitions.
