I agree that you'll be able to get used to almost anything, however;

The old location (inside the start menu) was at least a 'logical' location, because the start menu in W95 was designed to be the central place for anything you did. The only confusing part was the naming.

Settings is possibly the worst possible location to put this; - In daily use, you will never use the settings menu - Settings are meant to make a (permanent) change in the configuration of your computer. (I configure my computer to 'reboot'? Should it reboot whenever I switch it on?)

Settings is the place for configuration and management of your computer (and the current app). Shutdown/restart is a management function so it goes in Settings.
