I'm not so much dreading it
as I am dreading SUPPORTING it. I've had people reject larger monitors because they didn't want to lose the desk space (including one who clung to a CRT). Just this quarter I had two engineering managers and an SQL programmer cling to out-of-warranty 2008 laptops with XP as long as possible because they didn't want to futz with W7 and the hassles of transferring to a new laptops. Only an incompatibilty with a new required tool forced their hands. I don't know the skill level of the users in other companies (or much care), but I do know the skills and attitudes of MY users.
No, I missed your tablet blog. I saw a potential use for tablets in our warehouse, but that department has since been outsourced to another company's management and support. At this time we don't have any, although two other people on the help desk have been tasked next year to look at them.
Because of the nature of our work, you and I have radically different hardware needs. Mine only has to mirror a relatively small pool. When the budget process coughs up new ones, I take one off the top of the pallet.
