I find it really easy to power off once you know where to look. I think they moved it so people without a mouse/keyboard could still turn off Windows easily. Call me crazy but I find Windows 8 to be really solid even on older equipment.
- batiudrami 14y agoI don't mind it, but I also find that (other than task manager), I barely interact with the new features. I turn it on, put my password in, click 'Desktop' and launch my apps. The extra half second of hovering to bring up the charms menu to shut down does annoy me disproportionately more than it really should.
- ygra 14y agoYou don't need to hover in the corner, you can just throw your mouse in the corner and then move it down. But agreed on not using the new features. I think the only Metro app I use regularly is checking the weather from the Start screen. Otherwise I spend almost all time on the Desktop and there it works just like a slimmer and faster Windows 7.
- UnoriginalGuy 14y agoMany metro apps are fairly broken anyway. I've been trying to use the "mail" app with Outlook.com e-mail (Hotmail's replacement) and it refuses to show me notifications for 90% of my e-mail because it arrives in a sub-folder rather than "inbox." The "Calendar" app is also spamming me with notifications about people's birthdays, even after I acknowledge the notification it appears again hours later. Plus it appears in front of full screen video and just stays there even when ignored... Great design there.
