I understand that from the admin perspective, but this is the CONSUMER PREVIEW...NOT the ADMIN PREVIEW.
Have you tried the preview for the windows server 8? Also most admins are moving to powershell anyway, so really it will be run a powershell script.
Admins may like having a tablet/pad with touch to manage the enterprise though. I bet they will be complaining if they don’t get touch interfaces/apps to manage their network.
So, when was the last time you saw a MS OS release where the UI for the home version and the UI for the pro version was different?
It is completely fair to assume 8 is going to be the same. Especially considering the way MS has completely toasted the Start Orb.
Which brings up, if I’m actually going to get a different UI with the pro version, then why am I being forced to use Metro at home? Why don’t I get a choice?
This is almost the same as if MS forced you to use Window Media Center as the OS shell. I actually think Media Center’s pretty cool....in a media center. Not on a desktop.
Likewise, 8’s got all sorts of potential for being cool on a tablet or phone...but annoying on the desktop.
And let’s face it - I don’t really like Apple, but do think for one second they didn’t wonder if Lion should be interfaced the same as iOS? If it were a good idea, they would have already done it.
