Short answer: The same reason you turn the ignition key to shut off your car.<\/p>\n

Long answer: Back in the early days, the taskbar didn’t have a Start button. (In a future history column, you’ll learn that back in the early days, the taskbar wasn’t called the taskbar.)<\/p>\n

Instead of the Start button, there were three buttons in the lower left corner. One was the “System” button (icon: the Windows flag), one was the “Find” button (icon: an eyeball), and the third was the “Help” button (icon: a question mark). “Find” and “Help” are self-explanatory. The “System” button gave you this menu:<\/p>\n

Of course, over time, the “Find” and “Help” buttons eventually joined the “System” button menu and the System button menu itself gradually turned into the Windows 95 Start menu.<\/p>\n

But one thing kept getting kicked up by usability tests: People booted up the computer and just sat there, unsure what to do next.<\/p>\n
\u7136\u800c\uff08\u5728\u300e\u5f00\u59cb\u300f\u6309\u94ae\u6210\u4e3a\u300e\u5f00\u59cb\u300f\u6309\u94ae\u4e4b\u524d\uff09\u603b\u6709\u4e00\u4ef6\u4e8b\u5728\u53ef\u7528\u6027\u6d4b\u8bd5\u4e2d\u663e\u73b0\uff1a\u4eba\u4eec\u6253\u5f00\u7535\u8111\uff0c\u7136\u540e\u5c31\u5750\u5728\u90a3\uff0c\u4e0d\u77e5\u9053\u63a5\u4e0b\u6765\u5e94\u8be5\u505a\u4ec0\u4e48\u3002<\/p>\n
That’s when we decided to label the System button “Start”.<\/p>\n
\u90a3\u65f6\u8d77\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u5c31\u51b3\u5b9a\u5c06\u8fd9\u4e2a\u300e\u7cfb\u7edf\u300f\u6309\u94ae\u6539\u53eb\u300e\u5f00\u59cb\u300f\u4e86\u3002<\/p>\n
It says, “You dummy. Click here.” And it sent our usability numbers through the roof, because all of a sudden, people knew what to click when they wanted to do something.<\/p>\n
\u5b83\u5305\u542b\u7684\u610f\u601d\u662f\uff0c\u300e\u4f60\u4e2a\u2468\uff0c\u70b9\u8fd9\u513f\u3002\u300f\uff0c\u8fd9\u4e2a\u6539\u52a8\u77ac\u95f4\u5c31\u5c06\u53ef\u7528\u6027\u6d4b\u8bd5\u7684\u5206\u6570\u62d4\u9ad8\u4e86\uff0c\u7a81\u7136\u4e4b\u95f4\uff0c\u4eba\u4eec\u5c31\u660e\u767d\u60f3\u505a\u4ec0\u4e48\u64cd\u4f5c\u65f6\u5e94\u8be5\u70b9\u54ea\u513f\u4e86\u3002<\/p>\n
So why is “Shut down” on the Start menu?<\/p>\n

When we asked people to shut down their computers, they clicked the Start button.<\/p>\n

Because, after all, when you want to shut down, you have to start somewhere.<\/p>\n

(Besides, if we also had a “Shut down” button next to the Start button, everybody would be demanding that we get rid of it to save valuable screen real estate.)<\/p>\n
