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 don't want to touch 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.

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.
