There are too many geeks like you Verd. Sure, a computer pro can learn this or that OS and have multiple computers with multiple OS's running, but the point is what will be good for the large user base that far outnumbers you or the entire compliment of any IT dept. They just want to get their work done and the very large shift like M$ is forcing on them with Win8 may not be real conducive to getting their work done and it may not help the bottom line at all. However, you don't seem to understand that and it appears you just want to berate someone else, perhaps so you can feel superior. Lots of people have doubts about Win8. It may be a bigger flop than Vista. Yeah, a geek can learn to use it, but the question of whether it's going to be wise to roll it out anytime soon (or all all) is a totally different issue and you seem to be missing that point.
