I think I missed that email if any? what new features?

I am not sure if what I am going to suggest is considered as minor or 
major change or not when it comes to coding? but I will share it anyway :)

I'd suggest to 'move' the shutdown menu from the far right to the left 
by adding it to the main menu (AKA App menu) at the very end, just like 
Windows XP for example.
However, if you think this is a bad idea, then simply ignore my 
suggestion :)

Other suggestions:

1. Let's make sure our main website is shown.
2. Is it possible to add "Social Media" category or sub-category and
   add our facebook, twitter and Google+ ?
3. I'd love to see a link to our Launchpad team, if possible?
4. About pop-up window, when a user clicks on that, he/she will get our
   names with the roles shown. We do deserve that ;)
5. I'd suggest to create a new category called "About" and add all the
   above under that category to make the menu looks nice and neat.

Not sure what else?

Have we managed to solve the issue with the installed applications? or 
that's not yet solved? when I install something, I can't find it on the 
menu (app) so I wonder if we managed to solve that?

While I don't have that (most of the times, I don't use an external 
mouse as I use more than one machine) but guess it won't harm anyone so 
yes, why not ;)

Not sure what else, maybe that's all for now :)

Thanks a lot for all your hard work!
