I can't remember for sure, but I think I was lost at first too. Then I discovered the windows key, and never looked back. I love getting most things done without touching the mouse. Though I did have to install a panel for when I work with more than a few instances of the same program at once (at which point alt tab can sometimes not allow me to differentiate between the instances as fast as I'd like).

I still think they should pop up a short tutorial when you first use it.

Yeah. I thought "ok, this is supposed to be user-obvious. Let's see what I can do."

I wonder how that Windows key thing works out for their hypothetical tablet users.

With the home key instead of the window key, it is a no brainer.
Can you unlock the screen without a physical keyboard yet?
Yes, there is a virtual keyboard in the unlock screen.
I don't know that yet, I'll tell you when I get to my Linux box =).
