Yes. Push the power button and your Windows 8 machine should resume in about two seconds, and even after hibernating overnight, come back in less than 20 seconds.
You don't want users to turn it off, and they shouldn't really need to restart it more often than Microsoft Update does already. Hiding away the reboot process is therefore a useful bit of design....

I think ordinary users are supposed to press the (physical) on/off button. That's really simple.
Although this only suspends the machine (by default, as far as I remember the only other option is hibernate).
