The clients page does a good job in explaining that there are various pieces of software that they (the new user) can use with their bitcoins. It also helps with the question "Who can I trust ?" By having the clients on a link from the "mothership" of bitcoin.org it gives credence to all of the alt clients. This last point is a good reason to only include open source clients IMHO. RE: The position randomisation - I have to admit I was secretly pleased with the original layout, as MultiBit just happened to have the "eye candy" position of "top and centre". It is only fair to have them switch around. -- http://multibit.org Money, reinvented
