Yes, first two times, it took me a little to remember that people were saying logout first. However, one of the top apps is Pokki that has shutdown in the place where you expect.

Whole app store thing helps a great deal. You install apps way faster and easier then ever before, like it is on a mac.

I would compare it when Apple changed scrolling, it took some time to get used to it (or flip the setting).

I still remember the controversy when Vista changed the power button on the start menu to sleep by default.

This still gets me every time.
