First thing I tell new Windows 8 testers is don't even try to learn anything about the operating system. Press the windows button on your keyboard, if you don't see the tile you want, or don't want to look for the tile you want, type the first letter or two of what you want, you'll be pleased.

for long time Windows users just make the first tiles Desktop, Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer followed by their most used applications. I have those, plus Office, plus our line of business applications on the first tile set
