Windows 8
After a full day of forcing myself to use it I have to say it's the most non-intuitive OS I have ever used. Let me back up a little and say I'm 48, have been it IT for 28 years, and am not into the "social media" craze; no twitter, no facebook, i don't game online, nada.
I upgraded an old tablet I had to see what all the Ballmerboys were talking about. I was cursing the entire day trying to figure out how to do thIngs, where to find things, and why I have to jump out to tiles to do desktop stuff only to be sent back there to actually do it.
Now I can see this as a phone OS; that makes sense and I'm sure the younger crowd will love it for that - but that's it for me, the PC OS is just stupid, unless on course if you want to do everything in Microsofts cloud. For me almost all the tiles on the man screen are useless because A. I don't have a Microsoft account and B. I don't want all my crap in the "cloud". So for me I can see one or two useful tiles.
As far as this OS in the Enterprise, there is no way.... No real admin would ever say this is a good OS for the enterprise unless it's locked down so much it would not be functional. There may be companies out there that let their employees do whatever they want on their computers, then this may work for them, but I have never heard of them.
I feel REAL sorry for older PC purchasers that are fed a line at the store and decide to go with this OS, they will be lost. I also feel sorry for us in IT that will eventually have to deal with this OS because MS is betting the bank on it, unless of course it turns into another Vista and they develop windows 7.5
My guess is this will finally push more people who were on he fence over to Macs, even a few enterprises.
Your opinion may vary...
