And other browsers are just a double-click away :-). One difference between
the NTP and a random website is that users think of the NTP as their content
(see for example the wording in the complaint from Mike's sister at the
start of this thread). Web sites that show user-generated (or in this case,
user-arranged) content tend to get more complaints about large visual
changes than more passive or static sites (example: see all of the uproar
whenever Facebook changes their UI).
Personally, I like the latest version of the NTP, but I would be wary of
lumping it in with websites in general when we're trying to understand user
expectations.
