Me too. I've edited my last post to correctly use the words icon and tile.

. . . in the beginning I could just move the mouse cursor (arrow) to the right edge of the screen and the tiles would move left so I could reach those tiles "hidden" beyond the right edge. Now nothing happens, these changes (undocumented) are very frustrating.

On what I called the consolidated application list AKA All Apps Screen, it seems impossible to scroll left and right if the mouse cursor is near the top of the screen. If in the middle, and I move the mouse cursor very quickly left or right to the screen edge, without pressing any button, the screen promptly scrolls. If in the middle, and I move the mouse cursor slowly left or right, without pressing any button, and hover on the screen edge, it will, in a second or two, slowly scroll left or right. And if I bring the mouse cursor all the way to the bottom, I have a left-right scrollbar that can be quickly moved left or right, but only while the left mouse button is down. Note that the scrollbar is invisible if the mouse is too high up on the screen.
Does this mean that Windows 8 is impossibly complex unless you have a touch screen? I don't think so. It seems designed to me so that once you are used to the new look and feel, it will seem natural. One price for Microsoft, though, may be that a lot of people return their new computer just before they were going to get the hang of it.
