--- Comment #15 from Sibit <philip at weikels.com> ---
In our office, we have hundreds of documents we access and they are frequently
located on different volumes on the network. For us, a huge benefit that MS
Office has is that the recent list from the file menu and the previously opened
list on its startup screen are not the same list and therefore the
functionality is not redundant.  Both have their own uses.  Having a start
screen that lists ALL previously opened documents allows a very efficient
method to filter and search for files that you can't remember the exact name of
or where in the world they are located on your network. It's like a smart
folder that keeps all your previously opened documents in one virtual location
for quick reference and an easy way to search / filter them.  Personally, I
think the idea of the Recent List and the Start Center being the same list is
severely limiting the potential of what the Start Center could be.  I have
several employees who are not extremely computer literate and hunting files
over the network is beyond their abilities; however, once they (or I) open a
file once, they would never have to hunt for it again as it would be sitting in
the Start Center ready to go.
