The location of log off and the shutdown menu are both a nuisance.
I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old that were placed in front of Windows 8
and were installing apps from the store, playing games etc without any
tuition. I showed them how to do a shutdown and that was about it.
James.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 'log out' 'button' being hidden the way it is
in Windows 8 and Server 2012 will be a nightmare for terminal server admins.
Ugh.

Because of touch.
All of those things in one place means small buttons which are hard to click on
with big fingers. That's my guess on it. The log off location makes sense on
a touch device as you can easily switch users. The shutdown and restart makes
little sense at all but apparently
The users will jus disconnect rather than logging out.

I could have one button that pops up a menu with large selection buttons - I
have that on my Windows Media Center already (under tasks) - surely that could
work?
I also don’t see how one power button is going to facilitate both shutdown and
restart.

Unfortunately Shadowing was removed. Some people blame Citrix and some blame

Yes, since server 2008 R2 (I think) shadowing had issues - mainly for
shadowing to or from multiple monitor setups.
In a Citrix environment we get by using RA as Webster said or the Shadow

agree it's a big backward step.
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)

They introduce something called an ATX power supply at about the same time as
