The "tiled" interface of the Win8 start screen is awkward to use with a mouse, but I think it works extremely well on the touchscreen of the Surface Pro.
Probably my biggest problem is that I have had the Surface for 8 months and in that time I have probably used it for less than ten hours, so I have never gotten very far up the learning curve.

I was aware the windows icon will take you to the tile interface screen. What I was referring to was missing the icon in the lower left corner to take you to the list of all the software loaded on the machine or to the control panel when you need to fix something. I finally discovered you have to swipe from the right side of the screen to get to the control panel. And for a battery powered device, why is the battery status monitor so well hidden?

I guess I just need to spend more time using it to learn all the details.
