Sorry to disappoint you but I am my IT department and I'm not having any issues...and neither are the IT departments from several companies that I work with.

And as a steady reader of that sub and of the Microsoft multi-sub, I heartily disagree with your observation. Both Win7 and Win8 had loads of "horror stories", just like WinXP before it. People are pretty much going to complain about any new Windows version.

Internal testing with Win8, which is still in the casual testing stage of "lets see what breaks" has like 3+ showstoppers for us and a dozen bad but not showstopper issues. XP to 7 had zero.

That's ignoring the metro apps/store nonsense, which I imagine I would just disable outright when we launch with it.

I guess one could argue that 7 wasn't a "real OS" and just Vista SP3. Still, I think 10 took a lot of gambles and wasn't the refined and less tablety Win8 everyone thought it would be. It clearly was rushed to save MS's image.
