@John; may I suggest that we show *recent apps* in stead of most used? Many have pointed out the redundancy of the Most Used apps with the launcher. What I find from my own usage patterns is that there are some apps that I uses maybe 5 times every 2 months, but these 5 times falls on the same- or two succeeding days.

Fx. using the calculator when I am doing my taxes. I do this rarely and I otherwise don't use the calculator, so I don't want it in the launcher and it never appears in Most Used.

On my android phone I can access the most recent apps with a long press on the home button. I use this when I am driving fx: Before I leave home I use the Maps app to check my route. I don't have a shortcut to the Maps apps so I dig it out of the menu. 3 times on my way to my destination I get lost an need to recheck the route[1]. This is easy because I can just long-press home to find the Maps app again.

[1]: 3 times is underexaggerated of course, /me trying to save face... ;-P
