On the right-hand side. Not that I've managed to get Windows 8 to run on my iPad.

That's doesn't power the iPad off.

Perhaps its a company computer ?

It does mine.

It does mine. But it's still irrelevant as I've never heard of anyone running Windows 8 on an iPad. Maybe you know better?

Oh really, does the Home button "power" it on again?

No. The power button powers it on again. (Surprisingly logical.)

I read a report in a PC Mag last month that made the statement that "W8 was similar to the Vista of old and W9 (out next year) was the equivalent of W7. Back to a better OS that was far more familiar for the user".

Seems like people power has worked again. Don't try and change something that works (for the sake of change) just improve upon it!

But the problem is this:

Google's Android and Apple iOS are offering simpler experiences for the masses, and Windows is getting left in the dust.

In reply to a post by Pipexer:

Quite a few computer cases don't have an "easy to access" power button like on my Antec P180 (i.e. you need to open the front door to get to the power and reset buttons).

I switch it on by hitting a key on the keyboard too.

Same here my case not Antec has a door hiding the power button.
