I think the article is written with clear bias against Win8/Metro. If it was written as "just another way to shutdown" as you bring it up than I'd have no issue. But the end of the article suggests there is "no way" to shut down. Or that mousing to the corner to bring up the charms is "unacceptable"? Sure it's different and if this person doesn't like it that's fine. But suggesting there isn't a perfectly fine way to shut down is biased and stupid! (will stupid, stupid, stupid and biased actually)
