From parent of your response:

    >Mouse over on the bottom left of the screen + Click + Wait for Metro interface to pan into view

Please, please, please, please do something about that bottom left corner mouse crap. I use a Windows Server 2012 VPS via Azure and that is the one thing that drives me insane when managing the server. Not getting a response until my mouse disappears from sight seems so wrong. It sours me on the entire OS almost. I don't understand why the server OS was shackled with the Metro interface, it's horrible for that use case.

You don't have to move to click the little start menu preview, you don't even have to wait for the preview to show up, you just bring your mouse to the corner and click. There's no aiming, just "throw mouse to corner and click". as commented by sukuriant

I guess mousing over to the corner is not so easy when you're in a non-fullscreen remote desktop: the mouse doesn't stop at the corner.
