I legit had to google how to Shut down / Restart a Windows 8 machine back then! It's insane to think that tech people could not figure out the UI, imagine what the regular people had to go through.

I had to open system Help to try to figure out how to log out of Windows NT 4 the first time I used it. We didn’t even have Google.

Helpfully, choosing Help crashed the system, which accomplished my goal.

Didn't Vista default to suspend when pressing the power button - in the menu?

Not sure why the downvote. This was a legitimate concern. I supported Windows PCs back then, and it was hard enough getting people distilled in the mantra of shutting down their PCs without just pulling the power. And then the default behaviour changes. Inconsistent UIs. https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-change-the-start-menu-power-...
