... to really know for sure. The big, BIG "x factor" is going to be Office 15 for a lot of businesses now.

I've been using Windows 8 since Dev Preview to write my programming articles, and I will say that it is the biggest change in Windows since the move from 3.X to 95, and before than, DOS to Windows. The retraining and relearning and lost efficiency until you get up-to-speed will be quite high. That said, I *do* think there is a long-term payoff... especially for companies that really double-down on tablets... but in the first 6 - 12 months after the upgrade when all you hear is complaints about how nothing is where it used to be... it will be hard for anyone to really think there was a benefit.
