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! We've gotten so used to the scenario where we couldn't use the power button to turn a device off that now being able to do so seems weird. "What? I can use the device's power button to turn the Windows device off? That's CRAZY!". Amazing what mind shift just one sentence can make.

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 won't 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.
