I don’t know what OS you’ve been running but the Win8 preview we’ve been running in my department is the worst OS we’ve ever seen. We’ve been alternating between laughing at what a POS it is, and being terrified of the idea of having to deploy it.
MS has at least 6 months of work to do before it’s enterprise-ready.
And the very first thing they need to do is set an option for AD domains to disable Metro and re-enable the Start bar.
And also, not be so obvious about the fact that they ripped off Metro from tablet Android.
The most common mistake is people who think Win8 is just the next version of Windows.
It is clear you never gave Windows 8 a chance.
You have to forget everything you know and learn a whole, new interface. What you know about Win7, iOS, Android, etc does not apply.
Everyone I know who is working with Win8 (including myself) found out it takes some time to learn the new interface. But anyone who has learned it, has said it is the best, most well-thought interface ever presented.
I agree with that and it will revolutionize how we work with our devices.
Chuckle!
I am not sure what planet you are living on, dude, but your “view” on Windows 8 preciew runs in direct contrast with what most informed reviewers have had to say about Win 8 so far, including this piece from Wired (no fan of Microsoft from as long as I can remember), reported on CNN
Five ways Windows 8 is better than iOS and Android

Or this from Rob Enderle,

and countless very poitive reviews from well respected technical publications.
Pshycho_Bunny eh?
What an appropriate name! I seem to recall meeting you in other threads on any number of subjects. When is the last time you posted anything on here that made any sense?
