"It takes an understanding of how people actually work"

A bit heavy handed seeing as how they messed up the entire UI on the desktop, basically giving the finger to the enterprise users. "Oh, you want to work productively on your desktop machine? Here, Enjoy some non optional Metro Tiles that slap you in the face every time you try to navigate around the OS."

Nailed it.

Everyone ponders Windows 8. I keep repeating - they've taken away the elements which allow our mind to flow between applications as we WORK. Full screen apps create a disconnection in my mind from the rest of the state of my desktop.

Edit: This really isn't relative to the context of the article, but rather the UI of Windows 8.
