http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/11/26/customizing-the-power-users-task s-menu-in-windows-8/ From: Alan Davies [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 11:40 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Window 8 on your PC Just move your mouse to bottom left and you will get a Start button of sorts, which of course brings you back to the new UI where you can see all of your apps (what, you mean you use legacy ones!?). Quick launch and desktop shortcuts for speed. Alternatively top right with mouse to Charms menu and search applications. Neither way quite the same, but if you really dont want to touch the keyboard From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 21 November 2012 17:31 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Window 8 on your PC I know thousands of users who very rarely use the keyboard. Especially for starting apps. Having to learn to utilize it after 17 years is something of a pain for those unaccustomed to it.

Bing gives me now aswers. Stefan On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 9:43 AM, Rod Trent <[email protected]> wrote: Also, consider that Windows 8 is built for devices that are never meant to be shut off. Why give easy access to a function that we are moving beyond?

Windows is now hardware aware enough that you just hit the power and Windows does whatever you told it to do (Power Settings) How enlightening! Weve gotten so used to the scenario where we couldnt use the power button to turn a device off that now being able to do so seems weird. What? I can use the devices power button to turn the Windows device off? Thats CRAZY!. Amazing what mind shift just one sentence can make From: Tim Vander Kooi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 5:06 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Window 8 on your PC Running the same 4 here, except we went with the Samsung Slates instead of the Surface, they are excellent machines. Once I demonstrated to users that the Start Page is just where their Start Button went to they were totally onboard. It is a total mind shift (just like Office 2003 to Office 2007, but once you make that shift it is much more useful. As for Shutdown being hard to get to, what I was told by a friend at Microsoft (and which makes perfect sense once you think about it) is just use the power button on your device (whatever it might be). You no longer have to pre-tell Windows that you want to shut down and let it handle everything for you. Windows is now hardware aware enough that you just hit the power and Windows does whatever you told it to do (Power Settings). This wont work in some environments where the power button is not accessible, but for the majority of businesses it works just fine, and it is incredibly fast! Going to Sleep and waking back up take my machines on average 2 seconds.
