Common user experience - uh, Windows 8 doesn't provide that, and won't until it gets all apps on the same GUI. There's no common user experience as long as we're switching between Metro and psuedo-Aero, depending on what each app needs.
I don't get the point of Windows To Go in a corporate environment. If a user needs W8 on a system, why not just install it? I'm missing something here.
I could see some advantages to the reset option for consumers. For the workplace, I wouldn't bother with the Reset when I can re-image the drive; that will put all my apps back. I wouldn't try the Refresh until I tried System Restore first (assuming it exists in W8) because Restore doesn't wipe any apps.
I'll bet that eight second boot requires a solid state drive. I don't know about the value of increase boot times on desktops and laptops is worth replacing the mechanical drives in those systems. Mostly, I wish I could get my users to shut down in the first place.
Ditto the hardware costs of implementing those new login methods. I can't see us paying for touch screens for desktops just to log on. Our laptops already have fingerprint sensors.
3G/4G is only of value to mobile users. Pointing out advantages like this one help drive the belief that MS doesn't really care about running W8 on traditional desktops and non-cellular laptops.
