Mobile is so overrated. Does anyone actually get anything done on a
mobile device?

Like people already said, everybody is jumping on the mobile train,
and the 'pro's' get the leftovers on the desktop.
As more and more apps move to the web and cloud (Office 2012 e.g.),
we'll slowly start too see a shift. At some point the desktop as we
know, use and love will be dead, not just on Windows.
And to answer your W8 Enterprise question, it's the same with some
additions for security, domain login and such.

Sam is right on the money. I heard an interview with Paul Thurrott
and he said according to the Windows team, Windows 8 is much like the
first version of OS-X. It's not Windows 7 with some bolt-on UI
elements, it is a new OS that has a "Classic" mode to maintain
compatibility with non-Metro apps.
There are no more windows in Windows except in Desktop mode. Even a
file requester is full-screen. I do wonder how pro developers are
going to deal with it - because MS says the desktop mode will be
phased out eventually, just like Apple got rid of Classic mode.
The tablet craze is here to stay. It's all about chasing dollars &
there are a lot more dollars in the general public then there is in
selling only to any one particular market segment. Just look at
Apple's current stock price & their cash on hand and you can
understand what they're all thinking.
I did see there's a Windows 8 Enterprise version that's being release
too. Is that more pro-friendly?
