Michael,
The short answer to your question is that we do not see any benifit to this page and end users will just click through it. We will not setup the Client Installations as we do not want end users using the thick client, and we do not want users using the out of the box documentation because are creating our own training and end user documentation that will be accessed through our learning environment.
We plan on having the end users define their saved url with the full address, but controlling saved urls can be difficult.
You are also correct that we do not want to replace this page with another. They would just need to click through that page instead.
Thank You,
Paul Hartwig
