Winkey + X: opens the "power user" menu (which includes programs and features, power options, event viewer, system, device manager, disk management, computer management, command prompt, task manager, control panel, file explorer, search, run)

Move mouse to upper left corner to see last app, continue to swipe down to get full list of open apps.

Move mouse to upper right corner and swipe down a little to get Charms.

To close Metro Apps, move mouse to top of screen until it turns into a hand. Then click and hold, dragging the window down all the way, until it gets small and grays out, then just let go of the mouse button and it closes.
