said by urbanriot:Not exactly. Windows 8 will be completely skipped in the enterprise, just as Vista was, so this attitude is completely inline with the IT standards of where many people work.
After a transition from Windows XP to Windows 7 and the necessary retraining of people to go to Windows 8, I expect we'll see Windows 7 in work environments for a good 5 - 6 years. It doesn't help we have articles like Zdnet's "Enterprise sends Windows 8 to the grave before launch".
Well not exactly - the Enterprise wanted a tablet they could manage policy on. This is what they get.
They really simply should come out and say it's not meant for the desktop, however it supports the desktop in a legacy mode. Then instead of seeming like a full blown failure on the desktop; it would have been a marketing victory.
