The purpose of CP isn't, and never has been, to replace the current sites. Ultimately, it's there to make things easier for folks. The idea is sound, the execution is what bit. Looking closer at some other elements in P5, though, I'm fairly certain "turning it off" will be possible again, though not quite as easily, and for a reason that may bug some folks. My personal observations on the structure of P5 is that it is sorta halfway done in a lot of ways. I think that the parts I see that are "halfway" done are now very much all the way done. Which means that the display system has been shifted pretty much into an xml system fully -- that's the new window structurte. XML means some sort of browser, no matter how you look at it. In this case, the application itself. SInce it is designed for two latforms, it is possible they basically shifted the interface into a built in parser, or, in short, they made their own browser, and CP is intended to use that directly or via a bridge of some sort into the underlying browser in use by the OS. That said, though, there's no question the main thrust of CP is towards the newer users or business users, who want a simple conduit directly to the content without the vagaries of forums and other stuff. They don't care about that stuff -- they just want to be able to find things, lol. (in short: I think CP is now more integrated, and while it annoys us, it might not annoy the newer users)
