I'm not denying there are some things wrong with Win 8.

Most people do care about memory management when it leads to fewer crashes and faster operation.

One of the biggest issues with Windows 8 is the same issue they had with Vista. They didn't educate the user as WHY the changes are important and HOW to navigate through the changes. Here's best best tutorial I know of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BSmmSU-UZU. Your wife's opinion is one of many and should be considered, but there are many reasons why a corporate IT environment *may* consider moving to Win8, including better management. There is also cost of ownership and licensing that needs to be considered. Cost of user training is a reason to consider not moving.

>Craig, you are drinking a Cook Aid. If the designers of Windows 8 decided that to shutdown a computer should take more than 3 clicks (and hide it in the settings), it is the ultimate case of the arrogance or stupidity (you choose). Most people don't care about memory management; most people want to buy the computer and use it. I bought this computer for my wife (who is not a technical person but very much a professional, director level professional of a fortune 500 company. After struggling with Windows 8, she said she would suggest to her company IT NEVER upgrade to Windows 8).
