Microsoft spectacularly fails: Early look at Windows 8 baffles consumers

[Egnever]

95. Wow you explain it yourself in your own post but cant see the forest for the trees

Sorry but people who hire you are shooting themselves in the foot. You say this

The training shift to adjust to Windows 8 alone makes it a complete failure for the enterprise, especially when the costs associated with BYOD are being questioned at every level of the large corporations and are making targeted mobility the only real solution for moving forward. since Apple already owns the space, MS is late to the game and Windows 8 is further proof that Windows 7 is the last stable environment enterprises should standardize on for the desktop and laptop environments while moving highly mobile sales staff to the iPad for extreme mobility requirements.

You recognize the difficulty at the moment of trying to work cross platform but dont seem to understand the benefit of windows 8. I find that frightening in an IT consultant.

The office desktop doesn't need to be win8 for it to work well with the win8 tablet.
