All that would be fine if the Start button functioned, or at least appeared
to function as a toggle switch. It doesn't, it is just a button to make a
menu appear. Though once the user has seen the words "shut down..."
hopefully they might twig that they have to go through that process to
switch the computer off.
I am reminded of when Apple pulled a stunner by having you drag the floppy
icon to the trash can to get the system to eject the floppy.
