Re: Really?
@Peter2 I have to completely disagree with you there. We're at the point now where users are using Windows 8 at home and wondering why the work computer is so dated. It's the perception of IT people that users can't handle change holding up that change, not the ability of the users. At home that same set of users has managed quite well with updated versions of Office, updated Windows, iPads, Android tablets, Facebook, video messaging and various other completely new things. Somehow they coped without extensive training and therapy. From what I've seen, it's actually IT staff who don't like Windows 8 and are trying to keep users away from it. The abbreviation TIKFAM is a classic example - describing a menu as an interface to suit your agenda. I agree that full screen touch apps ought to be disabled on a corporate non touch desktop, but to imply a user is too stupid to click the massive outlook tile to open their email is ridiculous.
