[citation][nom]kenyee[/nom]Thanks for that pointer.The stupid UI has been driving me nuts...shutdowns take 4 clicks and lots of mousing. I can't find apps I installed without going into the install directories and linking to each of the app executables, took a while to find the Services app. I'd quit if I were Sinofsky too...this makes the lives of Win7 upgraders hellish
And I don't use the metro UI except for login...it's cutesy, but looks like it belongs on a phone.[/citation]
For Shutdown:
1. You can always do ALT+F4 in the desktop mode, if you're in the Metro, Windows Button (or switch to desktop) -> ALT+F4
2. Move mouse cursor to Top or Bottom right (no mouse click) -> Settings -> Power -> Shutdown
(Note: Windows 7 has the ALT+F4 or Start -> hover over power options -> Shutdown)
Windows 8 has 1 extra step if you go the long way.
For finding Apps:
I really like the Search -> Apps, lists everything in alphabetical order, will files grouped by program.
Easily can scroll with the mouse across letters, and its always sorted unlike my Start Menu.
I find pinning my main apps to the Start (Metro UI), and having them there as opposed to the bottom taskbar or icons in my desktop like the old windows style a lot nicer. Clicking Windows Button, then seeing the program icons I have setup in a nice clean way always in the order I leave them in is really nice. 98% of the programs I open are "Pin to Start"
