I don't really agree with this article at all. For one thing, as people have already pointed out here, making coclusins based on companies' plans just does not make much sense.
1. Do people really and honestly think that companies will abandon Windows for iPads or macs? I find that extremely unlikely for reasons that I think we already know (iPads are not good for productivity, I doubt companies will shell extra $$$ for Macs). Companies being wary of a brand new Windows release is nothing new. Remember when Windows XP came out? People and companies hated it initially. The article's comparison to Windows 7 is funny because it failed to say how most of these companies who looked forward to upgrading were running an OS that was 8 years old! (XP - the same one they initially claimed they would not use)
2. I don't buy the fact that most people think that they can get away wit just having an iPad. Most people that I know use an iPad as a SECONDARY device. It is more fun than a laptop for consuming content. Sure. But what if you have to actually, you know, do some work? This is basically Windows 8 / Surface's entire value proposition. One device to work AND play.
3. Why is the article ignoring the fact that most people won't feel comfortable spending ~$1,300 on an Apple computer when they could get an HP or something for $600 or even less? Let us not forget the fact that not everyone can shell out the money for a Mac.
My 2 (3?) cents :)
