Arguably they added that "feature" as a "preview" for 11's new take on Vista's (rarely used) Widgets panel (that moves Live Tiles from a place they are useful if configured right and get increasingly rare developer support to a place that pretty much guarantees their death), as all the junk in the Widgets panel that's not the dying Live Tiles seems to be the same junk news stuff in the annoying 10 "weather popup".
