This is the kind of stuff that needs real data rather than speculation
I think.  But my gut says that using Overview is not a better option
since it describes the metaphor but not the content (and why having a
menu labeled "Menu" may not be great either).  Once we get those data
we'll review this decision just like all the rest.  The effort
required to change the label on the button is not large and there is
no risk in deferring the decision until we have more information.
Anyway, that's how I see it.

Thanks,
Jon
