Now that's the voice of reason and common sense.So Dear Ms don't expect W8 EVER to be seen inside a large workplace. It just 'AINT' going to happen. NEVER EVER.
W8 currently with the wretched Metro is totally INAPPROPRIATE for typical businesses. It's OK maybe for some consumers who like the "Kiddies Menu screen" so it looks and feels like a smart phone but this doesn't work for lots of business users.

Off Topic: Thought this joke might appeal to your British sense of humor Jimbo. It's set in the mid 1900s in an English criminal court room:
Judge: What's the next case?
Clerk of court: The next defendant is accused of pickpocketing, m'lud.
Judge: How do you plead?
Defendant: Guilty m'lud!
Judge: Fined ten quid!
Defendant: I've only got a fiver m'lud!
Judge: Put him back in the crowd until he gets another fiver!
Glad you enjoyed the joke. Not everyone would get the "m'lud" bit. And nice to see another cricket fan on this forum. It's a great game once you get to know it.Love it
I'm not British BTW although I have worked contracts in London, Swansea ...
I got also to like Cricket and am following the England Aus one day series with interest.

So Win 8 is for businesses and corporations also. Well, if Metro fails, then we'll have to wait for SP1 with start menu again.
And (maybe) all goes well.
It even sounds like a joke. There are risks involved: after some bad user experience (if it's gonna turn this bad...), many won't even look at Win8 sp1 and go back to Win7 (not even talking about businesses here anymore).So Win 8 is for businesses and corporations also.

Well Ms might think so but I can't pin down ONE SINGLE BUSINESS who would even THINK of embarking on that type of foolhardy upgrade especially now when money is tight and growth dubious at best for at least the next 6 to 9 months or so-- just imagine the sheer time and expense of trying to explain to basic "Bog standard" users how to navigate and use W8.
As I said before -- until the standard Desktop boots up from the logon --for businesses any W8 upgrade "JUST AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN"
and any of these overpaid and overblown consultancies such as "Acc---ure" or "Inf---s" should know better than charging exhorbitant rates for something that's doomed to failure even before their "suited and booted ipad wielding staff" open their first flip chart.
