Subtle change on sun.com

Don't know when this was changed, but I've noticed a subtle change on Sun's website recently.

I'm sure that in the main navigation, it had Products first and Downloads second. They seem to have swapped over.

I'm not sure whether this marks a change in direction, with less emphasis on selling stuff and more on giving stuff away, or whether they're tracking visitors and ordering the navigation links by popularity.

yes, it was products first and still seems to be on the country sites I've looked at so far.
I'm sure some web usability survey just counted hits and used that to sort the menu.

It's a very interesting observation. It makes you think about the adoption first, monetize second concept.
