We'll be setting up redirects for the old press releases to the new website soon. We just had so many things to sort out today for the release that these small things end up slipping out. Cheers!
I'm unclear on how the changes relating to the desktop will actually change the experience.
Congratulations to the Gnome team though! It does look great.
