Two ways of shutting down Windows 8 CP
Normally, in Windows 7, to shutdown the computer, one selects the Start button and then clicks on the shutdown button, or, if using the keyboard, WinKey, right-arrow key, Enter. In Windows 8 Consumer Preview there are two basic ways of doing it, depending on the display mode. 1) In Metro UI mode, click on the right-bottom corner of the screen to get the "charms", the core functionality icons of Windows 8: Search, Share, Start, Devices and Settings. Click on the latter, then on "Power" and, finally, select "Shutdown". 2) In Desktop mode, touch the taskbar or anywhere on a clear spot on the Desktop (this action will give the "focus" to the operating system). Then, press ALT+F4 (a key combination since the times of Windows 95!) to see the dialog box shown here, where one of the choices is "Shut down". Select and press Enter or click on OK.
