Facebook, maybe?

I saw the consumer demo of Windows 8 last night and kept wondering where it
left business clients.  If it looks like Android/Apple, behaves like them
and is as much of a toy, why bother with windows at all?  There's a huge
amount of collected wisdom in this group, and business clients actually
need our knowledge.  Unfortunately, Microsoft seems to have decided that
their future market belongs to social networks and not to businesses.  When
new PCs all come with Win8, people may have to resort to either not
upgrading or just using their smart phones.

Personally, I find the Android/Apple interface fine for smartphones, but I
don't like it on tablets and  I won't go there on PCs.  Guess that means
I'll have to stick with working for companies that live in the past.
