Re: What are the substantive reasons to reject Windows 8? Usability is a big factor, so you're skewing your survey by excluding Metro. The interface matters.
Some of us have work to get done - we're not just playing at home with all the time in the world. It's not that we can't learn, but we can't afford the downtime. Also, many of us would never ever dream of adopting a new os until at least the first service pack.
The larger questions are, what does Win8 offer that what we have now doesn't; do we even need what it offers or is it "nice to have but not essential"; does it play nice with the software we already use; and is it cost effective - not just the cost of the os itself, but the cost of possible required hardware upgrades and/or software/interface upgrades.
If a new version of anything doesn't offer real improvement or brings more problems than it solves, why go there? It's not just Windows, ya know? |
