I am imagining the meeting at Tech Republic....

"Yea sure, let's let someone who dislikes the Metro UI write the an article with tips on migration to Windows 8."

At least this is a mostly positive article, but when there are six tips, and three of them are....

-don't be an early adopter
-disable metro
-hold their hands

Then there really are only three items, and they are so obvious that even I or any of the other commenters could have written this article and most would have done a better job. It's also a bit early for this article, since the OS won't even be available until September (if then).

Let me give you some better ideas for articles.

-How to prepare your users for a Windows 8 migration.
-Why you might want to be a Windows 8 early adopter (Yes, there are reasons)
-Why you might NOT want to be a Win8 early adopter (Not written by someone who feels you should give it a miss)

We've had enough of the whiney, "we don't like Metro" articles (and comments). How about something constructive for a change. This article is half constructive, which is an improvement, but it is way too early.
