I don't mean to sound testy. It's just that as a System Administrator, with front-office users who are frustrated by the Win 8 UI every day, I am very sensitized to the pointless waste of productivity that Microsoft inflicted on Corporate America with Metro.
It's not about Windows 8 as an OS. It's a fine OS.
With a User Interface from Hell, when it's on a desktop or laptop.
On a phone, Metro works fine. I actually rather like it... on a phone. On a desktop, I want to throw the damn thing through a wall after 5 minutes.
You see, not everyone is in a position to install things that fix Microsoft's egregious errors. Some of us have to live with them.
The distillation is that home users are too dumb to install a start button while those business and corporate users are not allowed to...not on an individual basis
What is stopping any business from installing a windows 8 start button system wide?
