transition was difficult for us Win 3.0 types. We've been using
Win8 since summer and began transitioning developer and
marketing teams in September. The feedback is 100% positive -
though it is frustrating and time consuming to learn how to get
around. And there are a few driver problems with Cisco VPN, HP,
etc. We have Win 8 phones and a tablets for cross-browser and UI
testing. They're wicked cool.  M$ having the same UI for a
phone, tablet and desktop might be a winning combination to
compete with Apple. Droid can't do this because they lack market
share in the desktop OS space. The iPad is a toy - a very nice
toy. If M$ can get PC power into a tablet with Word and Excel
they're going to gain a lot of market share and retain their
dominance with Office.  Corporate I.T. has been pushed by
C-level execs to deploy iPhones and iPads against their wishes.
C-level types may now return to a more comfy spot. I feel bad
for Blackberry.  Still, a bet on M$
