Windows 8 Good or bad for PC

However, if you want to shut it all the way down there is no easily accessible button, you have to use "Control-Alt-delete", then sign out, then click on the power icon in the lower right hand corner, then click "Shut down". ( at least that is the only way I've found so far )

You can always switch over to Desktop mode and press alt+F4 to receive your shutdown options.
But you can also create actual shutdown tiles that accomplish the same effect in Metro.

Within Desktop mode, right-click on the desktop and create a new shortcut.
For it’s “location”, you’ll want to type in the following: shutdown.exe -s -t 00.
Feel free to name the shortcut whatever you want.
Once it’s on your desktop, fire up Windows Explorer and move the shortcut to your C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory.
Jump back to your Metro interface and you’ll see your Shutdown button appear as a brand-new tile.
Click once, and off goes your system!
