I think you are spot on, though I think its as much about the windows store.

Not in my opinion. As they dont share the same bookmarks and settings. And this is big let down: with W8 you have to syngronize you settings manually (not between two pc's but) between two UI's in two different control panels. This is also true for email etc.

What ADRz says make a lot of sense to me. Why would a enterprise upgrade from W7 to W8, only to disable the metro interface and be left with what is basicly W7? Why doesn't MS go the same route as apple and google and offer a WP7 tablet version? Makes so much more sense. In the end "windows"...
