This about sums it up for me:

And it's sad, because from what I've seen of 8.1, especially on the
eldest kid's laptop, it is an improvement over 7 in a lot of ways.
Starts up like a rocket for one. If you could just boot it straight
into
a desktop/Start menu that is like Windows 7, or to the Metro UI on a
tablet, and never the twain meet, it would be great. Or if it were
easy
to implement an alternative shell, like the *nix world, but that
would
leave them open to the sort of Gnome vs KDE vs whatever infighting
that
plagues that platform.
Windows 8 (besides the connectivity problems I am having) is great for
the reasons you mention. It is the user interface that is all over the
board. I have to Google just about everything.
Quick, how do you turn down the sound?

Ted,
Charms (Windows + C), Settings, is where I found it on my windows 8 tablet.
Tracy: I found it, but the reason I was looking for it was I was on a
conference call with 10 people from Arizona to India and places in
between and a loud video started in my browser. Yikes!
