I think that we see this wrong. Win 8 RT is for the tablet experience and full Win8 is designed for the touch screen laptop/tablets. Period, no one said we should all upgrade to Win 8 in the work environment. We are used to have the new Windows version for work, but this one is for home, as are the other tablets that are super popular now. It works great on my Ideapad Yoga 13, as soon as I got all my shortcuts in the Start menu, including my websites "favorites" and apps I love to use it as a tablet. When I need the mouse to actually work on Word or Excel I flip it over and I have a laptop. This is for personal use and I can see some use for work too, but I wouldn't put Windows 8 on my work desktop, WIn 7 works just fine
