They probably changed for the same reason Microsoft feels it necessary to
modify their man/machine interface (apology to Maryanne Kehoe) just when their
customers have gotten use to the previous operating system version. Windows 8
is a totally useless "upgrade" to anyone who is quite happy with a mouse and
keyboard. Some time ago Microsoft figured out they could really baffle their
customers by requiring them close down the computer by going to a button in the
bottom left corner of the screen labeled "start" instead of "end" or "stop".
In Windows 8 they have chosen to hide the "start" button. My guess is that the
guy who publishes "Windows 8 For Dummies" bribed Microsoft to make the
interface more confusing than required to sell more books/DVDs.
