I'd avoid making generalizations
regardless of whether or not you're a fan of the Metro style, it is a good "touch" interface and the distinction between it and Android or iOS really only come down to your grahpical preference. From a functionality standpoint, each has their own merits. Regardless of that, Windows 7 is a solid operating system and should continue to be the primary operating system on the enterprise PC for a number of reasons but to generalize and say that Windows 8 has NO place in enterprise is wrong also for a number of reasons. It does have a place and that place is for the non-standard employee such as management, sales or any other primarily mobile user that prefers to have a slate rather than a laptop and the reason for that is because those users can continue to use Windows 8 to run their required desktop applications natively in a docked mode when needed or on the go when required while also giving them the touch interface for web, email, messaging and reading tasks "on the go". It may not be the "best" of both worlds but it is "both" worlds on a single device. That being said, are there changes that can be made to improve the OS? Obviously. This is after all a preview, not the final version and even still, Windows 9 will continue to improve on the features being introduced just as Microsoft has done in the past with this leapfrog cycle of theirs. So while I'm not saying that Windows 8 is perfect, I am saying that there is a place in the enterprise where Windows 8 presents itself as a worthwhile solution.
