Re: "new computers will come with 8 installed, so that's some pretty significant adoption right there."
I don't know a single corporate IT department in the Bay Area that has committed to a full-scale Windows 8 Deployment in 2013. My estimate is that 75%+ of new computer sold to enterprises (everywhere) in the First Half of 2013 will ship with Windows 7, not Windows 8.
- notatoad 14y agoCorporate IT is inherently conservative. Frankly, any company doing a full roll-out of a new version of an operating system in the first year after release is probably irresponsible, and any company planning their roll-out before the software is even released definitely is. Good admins always wait for SP1. I wouldn't try to extrapolate anything about the quality of the software based on whether or not corporate sysadmins are deploying it.
