As a tech, I know there would be hell to pay for any IT guy that installs this on a business network. ESPECIALLY to your execs! As usual I was all set to not like a new Microsoft OS until at least service pack 1 but I just installed it to my personal laptop and admittedly I really like the features and structure once i caught on. I admit it is more fluff than actual meat and potatoes. As far as power users, you should go into desktop mode and load up the taskbar with your fav programs and work the conventional way, and then hop into metro when using the apps which are pretty cool. I love the reading mode of the news apps.
