| 1273534 | 2012-05-04 08:26:00 | Today I downloaded the Win8 ISO, created a DVD and loaded it into a spare partition . I do not have a touch screen so will need to rely on keyboard/mouse . It's a bit of a pain that there is no longer a Start button nor the ability to get to all programs that way, you have to use the taskbar by the looks of it and use Windows Explorer . So how does one shut the system down? I guess I will find it without having to use ALT/CTRL/DLT every time . So far Win 8 looks good so I will have a lot of fun exploring it . |

You will then see some of your programs, but if you want to see them all right click and a button will appear lower left which you then click on to see all your programs. Everything is there as in Windows 7 but done differantly. I am useing Windows 8 all the time, have been for a month. :) |

| 1273536 | 2012-05-04 08:39:00 | Shutting down can be done several ways -- move the pointer and "bump" the bottom right hand corner of the screen , the menu will fly out, click on power / Shutdown. Shown Here (news.cnet.com) - as well as another way thats quick, alt+F4 Another way Create a shortcut - Described here (www.techrepublic.com) The way I have it setup, its simple -- go into the control Panel, make sure the power button (the one you press to turn on the computer) is set to shutdown when pressed. I simply give the power button a quick tap with my finger and it goes through the shut down procedure. |

| 1273539 | 2012-05-04 12:18:00 | I shut down via the off button on my keyboard. :) Hmmm Not a bad idea, looking at my KB I would have to change the sleep button to shutdown, but thats easy. Great suggestion. I can see its gonna be "fun" :rolleyes: Here when W8 goes RTM and people start asking " how do you <insert task> |
