The location of log off and the shutdown menu are both a nuisance. I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old that were placed in front of Windows 8 and were installing apps from the store, playing games etc without any tuition. I showed them how to do a shutdown and that was about it.

It's just too late and we would get a lot of negative feedback. Also we tend to hold off on such deployments until the product has a little shake-down time and we get a break to do upgrades. Personally, I'm not looking forward to 8 on the desktop in a lab environment. One nitpick of my own: It's very difficult to log off, which is something every 7-18 year old in our schools will have to do. While some know that you can quickly find a logout with Ctrl-Alt-Del, most don't. Last, most of the software run by our users aren't in the DCIM* interface. So really, there isn't a feature that is yet pushing us to Win8 yet. I have seen start-button replacements, like Start8, but we like to go with the Officially supported versions of things if we can. Thus, if Microsoft makes it an option to stick people to the Desktop and give them a way to launch programs/logoff, I'll give it another try.
