> Win8 is just a horrible fit for that market If they bring back the Start menu (which they're half doing in 8.1) and allow the OS to boot directly into Desktop mode, then I think that Windows 7 and 8 would be essentially the same for enterprise users. They can just ignore all the new touch/consumer-centric features that have been added on. In fact, there are quite a few improvements under the hood from 7 to 8 that they could benefit from.

So the selling point is that it's not worse than Win7, and the new consumer-centric touchscreen features can just be ignored, and there are various "under the hood" improvements that no one ever actually explains. I'm not exactly seeing a compelling reason to break out the corporate checkbook here.
