I know a cetain operating system which requires you to click on "start"

to
turn it off


It also requires you to click "start" to run programs. To change

settings.
To view files. To search for files.

In other words, in that context, it ought to be pretty obvious to all but
the most dim-witted that you might find a whole host of interesting
functions, like turning off the computer, there.

Why people continue to insist bring this up as if it's some failure of

user
interface design, I have no idea.

I have heard there's another OS that puts the "turn off" function under a
menu named "Special". What's so special about turning off the computer?
And why aren't activities that are truly special not found there?

How about having to drag an icon of a diskette to the Trashcan to eject the
thing? Talk about intuitive!
