But if you open the same application from the Start screen you don't get a window container and have to drag the window to the bottom to close the application. This isn't a huge issue but it did confuse me at first.

Here is an article I picked up this morning that goes some way to explain why my laptop is now consuming significantly less power (be warned it's quite technical and a fairly long read)
