curious, how are 7 and 8 unsuited for a corporate environment? o.o

7 home premium can't be added to a domain. need at least professional

and 8 is trying to push itself as a tablet UI. touch screens in an office is retarded + 8 pro won't run xp mode if required

ah, okey

though touch screen isn't really necessary. been with it since the developer preview and haven't used an 8 touch device even once

meh. metro front end is also rather borked

they're still missing policy templates to control it properly via gpo

metro hurts my soul

lies. you have no soul

metro hurts your absense of a soul

i find metro nice

means that any app you are going to use on a mobile device would be available on your desktop

and you can't sync data between the two accordingly

also means for people like us who work on the field that we can use the same program with a better tablet interface in the field, sync our data to the desktop, and with a switch between metro and desktop style manipulate the data as we wish

really useful

why do I want my computer to be the same as my mobile?

get laptop if you want portability

you might not need it, but it simplifies the life of us geologists/hydrogeologists

tablet is easier to use out in the field

then get a tablet and use it. why are we then syncing to another computer?

simplicity, also the cloud ensures no loss in data should something happen in the field which is quite probable

one thing i like about 8 is it's integration with skydrive

lol... your faith in the cloud is misguided

just because its saved on a server doesn't make it safe

regardless, better than nothing

there are plenty of ways to achieve this that are superior to a half completed tablet ui from microsoft
