All "designed for Windows 8" tablets have a hardware Windows button.

If you're using a previous tablet (e.g. I have a HP Slate 500) then it's a 
different story. But a bunch of random things don't work on those older tablets 
(e.g. edge swipe detection doesn't seems to be very good) because they were 
never designed to work with Win8, and I doubt any company would deploy Win8 to 
such devices.

Strangely enough, I bet real help desk calls are much worse :)

You should try managing server 2012 via RDP sometime. It really is just 1 pixel 
in the bottom left which is nearly impossible to click on unless your RDP is 
full screen.

What do you need on the Start screen on Windows Server 2012?
