I didn't even know about Win+X (I knew you could right click the "start" tile, but this pretty awesome. Thank you :)

You are correct, sir, but if you press "restart" you forgo the "fast boot" hybrid and you do a cold boot. This is talked about in the article I reference on MSDN.

P.S - Picture viewer, Media Player, etc are still there, just not default. It's a pain.
