That didn't occur to me at the time. But ... I have had the same problem un-maximixing applications [that start maximized by default [Grrrrrr]] under Gnome 3
That says a lot about intuitiveness of the latest crop of User Interfaces. Or, perhaps ... I am getting old. Scary thought.
If I want to use extremely powerful system where I need to learn lots of keybindings in advance, I will install Emacs(*). ;-)

I am used to use mouse to log out and switch off the computer. I wanted to know how long it would take me to discover the way of switching the computer off using just mouse. So I didn't look that up, I wanted to find out on my own. I am Microsoft Certified Professional (I am an IT mercenary at work), so I figured out the power button 'trick', and I looked up the keyboard shortcut (windows key + I then power>off - I felt like when I was trying to learn Emacs many, *many* years ago). Besides you can always use Alt+F4 from the desktop - not sure about Metro Start Menu.

I wonder what genius decided that power-off button will be hidden under Settings charm
.
Now that I think about it, I would like to know how Microsoft User Interface Naming Specialists Group came up with "Charm" name for that strange menu.
