Well it’s good to know that updates bring change.
Many times change brings about a better way of doing things. Other times it may bring change to old familiar ways and we may not like them. Take the moving of the Gnome window buttons for minimize, maximize, and close.

Obviously I have not won anything. This could be a very simple attempt to get you to call and give information away, or for them to convince you to charge your credit card for processing fees I am not certain.
