VS2008 Start Page replacement

Question

I really don't like the VS2008 Start Page. I don't need the RSS reader, Getting started or Headlines. The only thing useful is "Recent Projects"

Is there a way to customize it or replace with a better one?
It will be nice that the page contains Favorites Projects and Recent projects.

P.S. I know that I can disabled it or replace it with other web page, just looking for a good productivity tip.

Here's an article with a lot of detail on how to precisely customize the start page. Unfortunately, it looks to be a rather arduous process. But hey, if you have the time...
