I was expecting this article to be about an organization, not a Consultancy, using their environment as a test bed. This article would have read a lot differently if this was about a Fortune 500 company. Seems to me it was just an article lightly bashing Windows 8. No offense meant to anyone.

Windows 8 is a big change but in many other ways it's not that big. I remember the change from 'progman' to explorer (start menu). The most common joke was 'I have to go to Start to shut down?' My original first IT centric job (as opposed to also being the computer guy who did other stuff
