I am not questioning the validity of the review. But it is a review that demonstrates how things look to a totally new user in her/his first hours with the OS. I am myself a somewhat technical savvy user and could not find these things out initially with Windows 8. I believe that it takes about one week to get used to. Not that bad. But if this one week is too much for the eventual adoption it remains to be seen. Not killing the apps still gets you to the start screen, though. It is only that if you press it twice it gets you back to the application. Some of these things seem intuitive (i.e. like clicking start twice in previous windows versions, or pressing the start button twice, was opening the start menu and closing it again.)
